October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). Each year, Rice University promotes awareness tips to guard against identity theft and the loss of Rice data and files. In 2014, the NCSAM campaign include lunch sessions with guest presenters as well as desktop activities that can be completed individually.
Through guided email tips, learn how to protect yourself, your family, and Rice University’s data and files. Good online protection habits are fundamentally the same for personal or business usage. If you choose to participate, you’ll receive four emails during the month of October suggesting some actions to take to tighten up your online security habits. As an incentive to complete tasks, you can earn points to be entered into a drawing for a variety of donated prizes, including plus two Rice football tickets and two Rice basketball tickets, courtesy of Rice Athletics. To sign up, send your name and email address to Liz Brigman (liz@rice.edu).
