Protecting Your Personal Information & Devices

Over the last few years, the news has reported a dramatic increase in the number and scope of attacks by those who want to gain access to your personal information. Protecting you and your family, as well as the college, has become ever more complex in this increasingly interconnected digital world. However, there are some simple, common sense steps that you can take that will help protect your personal information and identity as you interact with online systems.

While the techniques involved in these attacks vary and may even seem transparent or obvious at times, the theft of your information can have results that go far beyond the simple click on a wrong link.

While we in Information Technology Services (ITS) do everything we can to protect you while you are on campus, each individual ultimately is responsible for their own protection, not only at the office, but at home as well.
