In response to the pandemic, many of us have shifted to working primarily from home which increases the risk for cybersecurity attacks. Being security aware means you understand what the threats are \u2014 and you take the right steps to prevent them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many data breaches and incidents<\/a> occur because of out-of-date software or operating system (OS) vulnerabilities. Information Technology provides monthly security updates for our UW-owned computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phishing is a form of email fraud in which victims are enticed into providing sensitive information which can then be used to access personal and UW information. UW-IT’s Information Security division can help you safeguard UW\u2019s institutional information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Utilizing\u00a0two-factor authentication<\/a>\u00a0(2FA<\/strong>) protects you and the UW community by preventing\u00a0others from logging in with your UW NetID, even if they know your password. 足彩app哪个是正规的 good news is everyone at UW already uses 2FA, through the application\u00a0Duo, to access Workday<\/a>. In the future, utilizing 2FA will also be required to log in to many web-based UW applications. To protect your UW NetID and the resources you access online,\u00a0we recommend enabling 2FA for the web now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note: UW-IT recommends\u00a0using the Duo Mobile application<\/a>. 足彩app哪个是正规的 application\u00a0does not store data<\/a>\u00a0on your smartphone or tablet, therefore it does not create records subject to disclosure as \u201cpublic records.\u201d For more information visit\u00a0UW-IT\u2019s FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a good digital citizen means critically thinking about our digital practices and how those decisions impact security and risk management for UW. Each of us is responsible<\/a> for helping the UW implement effective electronic records management<\/a>. Knowing what records to keep or delete<\/a> helps ensure that we are able to find and secure information important to the University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have other questions about records management? Contact UW\u2019s Record Management Services<\/a> for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In previous actions, we have shared advice on how to protect the data on your device. Physically securing your device is just as important. Mobile phones, tablets, and laptops make it easier to store and access information, but they are also easier to steal or misplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your university device is misplaced or stolen,<\/strong> notify both Campus Safety<\/a> and UW Bothell IT<\/a> so that we can help you take the appropriate next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information about cybersecurity at the UW, check out the UW CISO website<\/a>.
