IT Security Awareness
Dear Student,
By now you have likely heard of the worldwide cyber security threat affecting many organisations. Here is some important information for all students.
At this point I am glad to report we have not seen the WannaCry threat breach CIT’s cyber security perimeter.
To protect yourself from WannaCry you should ensure:
The windows updates on your laptops and/or pc’s must be patched with the latest updates:
Windows 7: Control Panel -> Systems and Security -> Windows Updates
Windows 10: Open Settings Menu -> Update & security > Windows Update
Be very wary of clicking links contained in emails (even from known senders)
