Cyber Security Awareness Month: Best Practices for Your Protection

With October being Cyber Security Awareness Month, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) would like to encourage all in the University Community to implement the following best practices for your protection.

• Always use a hard password, for every site. A hard password should be a minimum of 12 characters, with a mix of upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters.
• Do not use family names, birthdays, or other information than can be easily discovered by hackers.
• Avoid using a whole word in your password without changing characters to numbers or special characters i.e. s3Cur!ty. Put multiple words or a phrase together ie cy3b3rs3Cur!ty (cybersecurity).
• Never repeat use of a password. Every site should have its own password.
• Use a password manager like Lastpass to keep track of your passwords. When possible let the utility create a random password for you and store it.
• Do not use your university password for any non-university websites, personal or professional. Always create new/different.
• Verify the email address matches the sender name. Scammers can apply any Display name to an email address.
• Hover you mouse over a link before clicking on it. It may say it’s from FedEx, but if the link doesn’t resolve to fedex.com, it’s not FedEx. (P.S. if you didn’t order anything, you’re not getting a delivery…).
• Check the grammar. Legitimate emails are often proofread and approved by multiple people. Scam emails are not.
• And most importantly, that "prince" who emailed you from overseas, he’s not really a prince…

Be wise, be safe.
