Together, we share in the responsibility to protect the university. Here are some of the things you can do:
- Work with ITS Information Assurance to get enhanced endpoint protection powered by CrowdStrike Falcon installed on computers in your unit. See CrowdStrike Falcon Implementation.
- Apply patches and updates in a timely manner.
- Perform risk assessments and complete the resulting mitigation plans. See IT Security Risk Analysis (RECON).
- Limit access to and protect systems that are exposed to the internet.
- Use Single Sign On (with Duo) or implement Duo two-factor authentication for local systems.
- Enable additional protections for accounts with elevated access.
Contact Information Assurance via the ITS Service Center with questions.
