In today's information technology environment, computer security is more important than ever. Spyware is prevalent, phishing attacks are after your accounts and passwords, and even seemingly harmless animated graphics can install harmful code. They all threaten not only your computer and personal information, but also RU's networked resources. While RU provides virus scan software and other tools to protect our computing environment, our best protection lies with each user.

You are careful with who has access to your cash, your credit cards, and your keys - be just as careful with your computing resources!! Take a few minutes to educate yourself to the possible threats and what you can do to protect yourself.
