Security Services

BUMC IT and BU IS&T work together to offer a wide range of services to ensure the security of Boston University’s information and technology resources. We offer you a wide variety of resources and tools as well as free consulting services and help with your questions about security. While some of our services are provided behind the scenes, your BU login name and Kerberos password provide you access to many services, resources, and tools you can use to protect your valuable information and computers from compromise.
