Dear Fellow Loggers,
October is here! Besides being the time for pumpkin spice lattes, it is also National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) – a collaborative effort to highlight the importance of our individual practices in keeping information secure and staying safe online.
This year, Technology Services will be offering self-paced activities that will provide you with an interactive way to learn about information security essentials and simple steps you can take to apply that knowledge in your personal and Logger life. The content for each week should take less than 15 minutes to complete!
Prizes are available! 5 students who engage in the quizzes all four weeks in October will be randomly selected to win a Yubikey or Logger swag!
To access the self-paced learning (Puget Sound login required), go to https://canvas.pugetsound.edu/enroll/MP96LJ, click Enroll in Course, then Go to the Course.
Don’t have time? This week’s theme is: Lock Down Your Login
- Lightning Tip #1 - Don’t make life easy for hackers! Use different passwords for different accounts.
- Lightning Tip #2 - When it comes to passwords, longer is stronger. Instead of a single word, use a phrase that’s easy to remember.
- Lightning Tip #3 - Passwords get stolen. Enable multi-factor authentication to protect your important accounts.
For any questions, please contact ts_infosec@pugetsound.edu.
Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart
Thank you,
Technology Services
