Every member of the University community must safeguard the information entrusted to us. Phishing attacks and stolen credentials pose significant threats, making up-to-date cybersecurity training crucial for awareness and protection of our data and systems.

Creating strong, unique passwords for each of your personal and work accounts isn't a chore when you use a password manager like LastPass. LastPass can generate and remember passwords for you - no more writing your passwords down and potentially exposing your credentials. Using strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts improves your personal and professional online security.

Phishing is an attack used to steal usernames, passwords, credit card information, Social Security numbers, and/or other sensitive data. Learn how to identify, report, and avoid these attacks.

Identity (ID) theft happens when someone steals your personal information to commit fraud or other crimes.

The identity thief may use your personal information to apply for credit cards, file taxes, or get medical services. These acts can damage your credit status, and cost you time and money to restore your good name.
