As students and faculty settle into campus and academic life routines, it’s a great time to remind the entire U-M community that IT security and privacy is a shared responsibility.
The following are key ways you can step up IT security and privacy:
- Secure devices and strong passwords are the best defense against unauthorized access to data and resources. Visit Protect Your Passwords and Identity and Secure Your Devices to refresh your knowledge and help others stay safe.
- Protecting sensitive data is the responsibility of every member of the U-M community. Ensure you and your colleagues understand the guidelines for authorized access, responsible use and management of information, and appropriate services for storing different types of U-M data.
- The U-M Safe Computing website has an array of resources on how to Be Safe Online:
- Be a Good Digital Citizen.
- Practice Online Hygiene.
- Review tips for Remote Work & Study.
- Find information on keeping software updated and reviewing settings at Secure Your Web Browser.
- Review and update your two-factor authentication settings if needed. Visit Reactivate or Update Duo for details.
Remember, information assurance is a shared responsibility, and each of us has a role in keeping you and the U secure.
