What is Computer Security?
Computer Security is the protection of computing systems and the data that they store or access.
Why is Computer Security Important?
Computer Security allows the University to carry out its mission by:
• Enabling people to carry out their jobs, education, and research
• Supporting critical business process
• Protecting personal and sensitive information
Why do I need to learn about Computer Security? Isn't this just an I.T. problem?
Good Security Standards follow the "90 / 10" Rule:
• 10% of security safeguards are technical.
• 90% of security safeguards rely on the computer user ("YOU") to adhere to good computing practices
Example: The lock on the door is the 10%. You remembering to lock the lock, checking to see if the door is closed, ensuring others do not prop the door open, keeping control of the keys, etc. is the 90%. You need both parts for effective security.
What Does This Mean for Me?
• This means that everyone who uses a computer needs to understand how to keep their computer and data secure.
• Information Technology Security is everyone's responsibility
Many cyber security threats are largely avoidable. Some key steps that everyone can take include:
• Use good, cryptic passwords that can't be easily guessed - and keep your passwords secret
• Make sure your operating system and applications are protected with all necessary security patches and updates
• Make sure your computer is protected with up-to-date antivirus and anti-spyware software
• Don't click on unknown or unsolicited links or attachments, and don't download unknown files or programs onto your computer
• Remember that information and passwords sent via standard, unencrypted wireless are especially easy for hackers to intercept
o To help reduce the risk, look for https in the URL and the little padlock that appears in the URL bar or in a corner of the browser window before you enter any sensitive information or a password.
o Also avoid standard, unencrypted e-mail and unencrypted Instant Messaging (IM) if you are concerned about privacy
