Career Center Security Policy

The Career Center, as developer and manager of the Teaching as a Career portal has taken a number of steps to safeguard the integrity of its data and prevent unauthorized access to information that is maintained in agency computer systems. These measures are designed and intended to prevent corruption of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and information, ensure the integrity of information that is transmitted between users of e-government applications and the Career Center, and to provide reasonable protection of private information that is in our possession.

For security purposes and to make sure this service remains available to all users, the Career Center uses special software programs for monitoring and auditing network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise to cause damage to this government computer system. The Career Center also uses industry-standard software tools to control access to specific applications and services and to protect data that is transmitted electronically between users and the Career Center. These programs help us identify someone attempting to tamper with this Web site.
