| Initiative Title | New System Backup Solution |

| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | With the cybersecurity event of October 23, 2023, the need for additional immutable backup storage became apparent to prepare for the possibility of future incidents. A new backup solution will be necessary to properly create a pathway to immutable backups. The Infrastructure Services team is currently investigating and pricing a solution that will allow for the addition of immutable backups in the future. ITS will be deciding on the preferred tool during the Spring Semester of 2024 and will be fully implementing the new solution during the 24/25 academic year. |
