| Info Security Offers Tips to Protect Data |
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
The Information Security Office is responsible for providing a secure computing environment at UT Dallas. Cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility and you can help make a difference. We encourage you to practice the following basic steps to protect your computer(s) from intrusions:
• Use strong passwords and change them regularly; don't use the same password for multiple sites.
• Be skeptical of emails asking you to go to a website to enter a user name and password.
• Do not click on links in emails or Instant Messenger. Viruses are often spread this way.
• Save files containing confidential data in secure locations.
• Keep computers updated with the latest system and application patches.
