Does your safety plan include cyber security, too?
Tremendous amounts of your personal data and information is transmitted through cyberspace. Cyber infrastructure has become a target to identity thieves and hackers. You can take steps to ensure that your data and technology are secure:
 Never leave a campus computer without logging off. Double check to make sure you have removed your flash drive.
 Never leave your personal devices unattended. Regularly back up your data and encrypt it.
 Always use a strong password. Use a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
 Always make sure that your software, apps, and antivirus protections are up to date.
 Never enter your personal information into an email or untrusted source.
