Secure IT

Stay safe online. It is everyone's responsibility to protect your own, and the University's information.

Start

• Loving you password by setting secure passwords and using a password safe.
• Thinking before you act. Don't automatically click on links.
• Think how your online actions can affect your offline life.
• Think about why you are going to a site. Did you get it from someone you trust?
• Trusting your gut. If something doesn't feel right, stop what you are doing.

Stop

• Stop sharing too much information. Keep your personal information personal.
• Stop and think about who can see the information you post online.
• Stop any questionable online behaviour. Only do and say things online that you would do in real life.

Stay

• Up to date with software.
• Alert to phishing
