Why updates matter
Software and device updates don’t just add new features, they also fix security flaws that hackers can use to access your data.
Ignoring update reminders can leave your personal information, passwords, and study files vulnerable.
This week for Cyber Security Awareness Month, learn how updates protect you and what to do if your data is ever caught in a breach.
See Something? Say Something!
Your safety starts with awareness. We all play a part in creating a secure and welcoming campus:
- Always wear your ID
- Notice who’s around, do they belong?
- Don’t be afraid to ask “Can I see your ID?”
- Speak to a staff member if anything feels off
If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Trust your instincts and speak up.
