Secure Your Data

Everyone is responsible for sensitive data—from banking information to student grades.  We have our personal sensitive data and university sensitive data. Unlocked workstations, unencrypted data on mobile devices, and unsecured wireless networks make data vulnerable to loss, identity theft, and sensitive data breaches.

Self-service Password Reset Option

The following instructions will illustrate how to set up the security verification (two-factor authentication) required to activate the self-service feature of Office365.

Social Engineering

Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into giving up confidential information or access to restricted areas. Their attacks can come through emails, text messages, over the phone, via social media, in person, and more.  Someone launching a social engineering attack won’t ask one person for the entire information they need.  Instead, they will gather a lot of seemingly harmless information from many sources and use it to look legitimate.
