While we work online from home during these uncertain times, you should follow these tips in order to have a safe online experience.

  • Familiarize yourself with Zoom security features and use them. More information can be found on Securing Your Zoom Meetings.

  • Connect to the VPN (vpn.iup.edu), and Remote Desktop into your Ä¢¹½tv computer. Data and network access stays within Ä¢¹½tv and keeps Ä¢¹½tv's network security safety nets in place.

  • Do not store work data and information on home computers or personal devices. All data on the Ä¢¹½tv network drives (e.g., H: and O: drives) is secure and backed up.

  • Make sure your computer's operating system and applications are up to date. Software updates provide security fixes to protect you and your device from cyber threats.

  • Make sure your computer has anti-malware software installed. Contact the IT Support Center if you need to install anti-malware software on your personal laptop or computer.

  • Don't use personal accounts for Ä¢¹½tv business. Remember that Ä¢¹½tv email is the official means of communications.

  • Create unique and strong passwords for all your accounts and devices.

  • Do not store printed paper documents with sensitive information at home.
