- Consider using a VPN (for example our OpenVPN service), particularly if you are using wireless in a public place - public wireless points are often less secure than those at home or within the University.
- When using a machine you do not manage (in an internet cafe, for example):
- You must avoid accessing sensitive data on such a machine.
- When using a home machine that you share with others:
- You must use a separate user account that other individuals have no access to.
- Please run antivirus.
- Where possible, have disk encryption enabled.
- Encryption:
- There is a University policy on encryption.
We recommend reading the University's Information Security pages.
