Safe Practices

What are Safe Practices?
Access to networked computer resources in general and to the Internet, in particular, supports the academic community by providing a link to electronic information in a variety of formats and covering all academic disciplines. As with any resource, it is possible to misuse computing resources and facilities and abuse access to the Internet. Each of us has a responsibility to ensure that we do everything possible to reduce the potential for intrusion, alteration, or loss of information on the campus network. Gaining a knowledge of best practices for securing networked computer resources will help protect against security breaches.
