Basic security measures help safeguard your computer and its data as well as the School of Medicine's network.

Security information
Some tips:
  • Change your passwords frequently.  Recommended at least every 180 days.
  • Use a screen saver that adds password protection when you are away from your computer.
  • If MSIS is not managing your anti-virus software, then keep your anti-virus software current.
  • Log off the network and your e-mail account if you leave your computer running overnight.
  • Promptly remove printouts of sensitive information from the printer.
  • Software manufacturers provide information almost daily on flaws they have fixed. For Windows users, an authoritative site, Microsoft Security Advisor, is available.
