Online Security Tips
- Remember to protect University information, as outlined in the University Information Resource Classification Standard and supporting documentation.
- When you are not on campus surrounded by coworkers who have taken security training, it is more important than ever to protect Internal and Restricted information.
- Follow Zoom best practices for security, like not posting links publicly, setting a passcode or waiting room, and limiting meetings to authenticated users.
- Practice good physical security around your device by locking it each time you leave your workspace. Developing the habit will serve you well, whether you are at home, traveling, or working in your office.
- Never leave mobile devices unattended in a public place.
- Use up-to-date antivirus protection. Sophos Home is available at no charge if you need antivirus/anti-malware for Mac or Windows personal computers.
- Update your operating system, web browser, and other software when upgrades become available. New versions block vulnerabilities that a hacker could exploit.
- When you are not on the campus network, use the campus VPN (or your department’s VPN) to create a secure connection.
- Don’t write it on a sticky note, or share it with anyone.
- Don’t approve unexpected NetID+ push notifications.
- Change your password if you suspect it has been compromised.
- Make passwords unique; don’t use the same password for different services.
- Consider using a password manager to handle all your logins.
- Consider using passphrases rather than passwords.
- Check out the Password Security page for more tips.
Whether working at home or on campus, phishing continues to be a major source of compromised accounts across the University community.
