With geopolitical tensions increasing, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a bulletin recommending all organizations to be especially vigilant during this time. Cyber threats are a common component in multi-front attacks, and universities are equally at risk of being the focus for one of these attacks. https://www.cisa.gov/shields-up
What can you do to help?
- Keep an eye out for any unexpected or unusual network behavior.
- Make sure any personal devices are current on their OS and app updates.
- Scrutinize all emails from senders you do not recognize. (Over 90% of cyber attacks begin with an email.)
- Report suspicious emails with the Phish Alert button in Outlook (or by forwarding it to abuse@tntech.edu).
If you have questions or need to report odd cyber behavior, please contact the Information Security Office. (ociso@tntech.edu)
Everyone has a part in helping our campus stay cyber safe!
