Initiatives
Innovative IT Initiatives for a Smarter Campus
The current CIO initiatives provide improved security and connectivity to the university community by keeping personal information and devices better protected and by expanding network coverage on campus.
UND NetX: Elevating Creativity
To address the growing connectivity demands, UND partnered with Boldyn (formerly Apogee) to manage network services. This transition began with residential halls, and plans are underway for academic and operational buildings. This step ensures that we future-proof UND to support our expanding student population, research activities, and technological needs. More information can be found in the link below.
Vevox
In collaboration with TTaDA, UIT introduced Vevox, an online platform for the creation and deployment of polls and surverys. By providing a single university-supported solution, UIT has reduced financial burdens on students while empowering faculty and staff with a powerful tool for surveys, polls, and analytics.
UND Digital Storage Solutions Discovery
With the growing impact of digitization, rising data storage expenses, and ever-present cybersecurity threats, efficient and effective data and file storage management are crucial to support academic, research, and administrative activities. This discovery project aims to identify and analyze the data and file storage needs of faculty and staff at UND. By understanding the current usage patterns, challenges, and requirements, we aim to develop a comprehensive strategy for optimizing data storage and enhancing user experience.
Phishing Campaign
Phishing is a cyber attack that uses disguised emails to prompt people to reveal personal information, such as user id, passwords, and credit card information. Throughout the year, phishing campaigns are created to train the UND community on what to look for in an email and determine whether it is a phishing attempt or not.
