Technology alone can't always protect our computers and information. Understanding and using cybersecurity principles and best practices help you to protect yourself, your family, the university's electronic communications resources, and the university data you handle.
Visit our cybersecurity awareness page to find featured topic articles, videos, and other resources throughout the year to help you build good cybersecurity habits. The Internet of Things (IoT) is our current topic.
View our events page for campus presentations (currently offered only via Zoom in light of COVID-19) you may attend to stay #CyberAware. We also provide security guidance and recommendations for working from home in the COVID-19 Cybersecurity section of the Remote Work page.
