OIT’s Security Team works to protect the sensitive information of UA students, faculty and staff. You play a role in protecting our information. Review the resources below.
Cybersecurity Tips
Do not share sensitive data and do not share passwords.
Do not open email attachments, or click on links, from sources you do not trust.
Back up your devices regularly.
Keep your operating system, browser, and other software up to date.
Longer passwords are stronger passwords. We recommend 12 or more characters.
Use multi-factor authentication, like Duo, for all of your online accounts. Gmail, Yahoo and iCloud all offer multi-factor authentication.
Store passwords in a secure and encrypted environment like Keeper.
Be smart with your smartphone. Enable secure access and have a password, pattern or biometrics to unlock your screen.
Beware of location tracking in your device.
Regularly review social media privacy settings to know who can see your information and posts.
Faculty/Staff should use the UA VPN to connect to the UA network when off campus. Do not access sensitive information over public WiFi.
