We've all heard the news stories about corporations and universities experiencing data breaches, exposing personal data to hackers who ultimately could use the information to commit identity theft and fraud.

To help us fight back against these unseen attackers, the Department of Information Technology Services (ITS) is providing a series of articles describing what you can do to help make computers and data at the University of Hartford more secure.

It is the responsibility of every computer user at the university to implement these protective measures.

This week’s article from ITS, “Your Network Password – The First Line of Defense,” is available online at http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/www/security/i.

Coming next week: “Keeping Your Computer's Operating System Up-To-Date.”
