2021 Virtual Cybersecurity Sessions

To encourage engagement and promote CyberSecurity Awareness the Office of Information Technology is hosting weekly virtual sessions with a team member of the Information Security Services team. Each weekly session will follow the weekly theme and there will be plenty of time to engage in general discussion or to ask questions relating to the CyberSecurity Campaign. We are encouraging the URI community to spread cybersecurity awareness and encourage everyone to own their role in protecting Internet-connected devices. “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.”

 

 

Cybersecurity Awareness  October 26,2021 @ 11:00 am

This final week is all about making security a priority. For campus community members, this means building security into services and processes. By making cybersecurity training a part of employee onboarding and equip staff with the tools they need to keep the organization safe will result in a safer digital landscape. For individuals, keep cybersecurity at the forefront of your mind as you connect daily. Before purchasing a device or online product, do your research. When you set up a new device or app, consider your security and privacy settings and update default passwords. Cybersecurity should not be an afterthought it should be a prerequisite prior to execution. This week we discuss the Cybersecurity First principles; highlighting the CIA Triad, thinking like an adversary, and defense in depth.
