October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month and the UNMC Department of Information Technology Services would like to remind all faculty, staff and students of the basics of Internet security.
One way to improve online safety is to be “web wise.”
- Stay current. Keep pace with new ways to stay safe online. Check trusted websites for the latest information, and share with friends, family, and colleagues and encourage them to be web wise.
- Think before you act. Be wary of communications that implore you to act immediately, offer something that sounds too good to be true, or ask for personal information.
- Back it up. Protect your valuable work, music, photos, and other digital information by making an electronic copy and storing it safely.
