Cybersecurity Tip #3 - Protect IT: if you connect, you must protect

It's essential to take proactive measures to enhance cybersecurity at home, at work, and when you're out and about. In previous weeks, we addressed how to best own and secure your personal information. Now, we need to safeguard all of that invaluable data, so here are some tips to help you "Protect IT."

Keep a Clean Machine:

Keep software current - Having the most up-to-date mobile security software, web browser, operating system and apps is the best defense against viruses, malware and other online threats, so keep your software updated to the latest version available. Turn on automatic updates so that you don’t have to think about it, and set your security software to run regular scans. If prompted to update your device, don't hesitate—do it immediately.
Delete when done - Many of us download apps for specific purposes, such as planning vacations, and no longer need them afterwards, or we may have previously downloaded apps that are longer useful or interesting to us. It’s a good security practice to delete all apps you no longer use.
Protect Your Personal Information:

Secure your devices - Use strong passphrases, passcodes, or other features such as touch identification to lock your devices. Securing your device can help protect your information if your device is lost or stolen and keep prying eyes out.
Now you see me, now you don't - Some stores and other locations look for devices with WiFi or Bluetooth turned on to track your movements while you are within range. Disable WiFi and Bluetooth when not in use.

**Remember: if you connect, you must protect.**

Computing Services invites you to the Adams State University 2019 Homecoming Alumni Banquet on Friday, October 18, 2019.

Homecoming 2019 Alumni banquet will honor the Honorable Carlos F. Lucero, circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. His successful career began as a student here at Adams State University where he earned his degree and was an adjunct professor of legal studies.

The Hon. Carlos F. Lucero, circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, will be the 49th recipient of the Billy Adams Award, which recognizes those who exhibit dedication to education shown by the University’s founder and namesake. The Billy Adams Award is part of Saturday's Adams State Homecoming Alumni Banquet. “I’ve been privileged to have a good life. It all started with education for me,” said Lucero, who grew up in Antonito with his parents, Margaret and Antonio Lucero, and five siblings. He is a 1961 graduate of Adams State and was an adjunct professor of legal studies at Adams State from 1966 until 1989. In 1995 Lucero was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, in Denver, by President Bill Clinton. To read more and for a full list of Homecoming activities visit adams.edu.
