Do IT Wright - Six Quick Strategies for IT Security

Because NO ONE is immune to malicious viruses and intrusion, we all need to do our part so that the maximum protection is in place. CaTS is working to ensure a safe computing environment on campus, but for this to happen, faculty, staff and students need to understand how to secure their computers, whether they are used on campus or at home. Follow the six security strategies above and you'll be on your way to a safe and secure computing experience. Also, follow the links below to learn more about what sensitive or protected information is and how to know if you have that type of data, and to learn more about available security training. Note: If you're using a CaTS supported computer on campus (contact the Help Desk at 775.4827 if you're not sure), firewalls, antivirus software, and security updates are already done for you on that computer.
