System Regulation 29.01.03, Information Security, has been renumbered to align with the recently released System Policy 29.02.

The new System Policy 29.02, Information Security, was released today.

As part of our implementation of security control standard RA-05(11), Public Disclosure Program, today we implemented a consolidated public reporting system for vulnerabilities of Texas A&M system information resources. Information regarding the program and the vulnerability reporting form is available at https://www.cyber.tamus.edu/vulnerability-disclosure-policy/.

We have also released the first version of a TAMUS standardized security.txt, a file format to aid in security vulnerability disclosure specified by RFC 9116. This file is published at https://www.cyber.tamus.edu/.well-known/security.txt and is also available for members to use on their respective institution websites.

A revised System Regulation 29.01.03, Information Security, was released today. This revision:

• adds or clarifies language to reflect the reorganization of the Security Operations Center (SOC) to Texas A&M University System Cybersecurity,
• clarifies the purpose of the Texas A&M System Security Control Standards Catalog and eliminates duplicative or redundant reference to the Texas DIR Security Control Standards Catalog,
• adds supporting language that references system requirements to Texas statute or administrative rule,
• establishes a required frequency for performing risk assessments based on the impact of the system being assessed,
• moves detailed guidance for data center consolidation to the A&M System Security Control Standards Catalog, and
• eliminates guidance for member CIO approval of commodity IT services
