A GUIDE TO PROTECTING YOUR COMPUTER & YOUR IDENTITY
WHY WORRY ABOUT COMPUTER SECURITY?
No computer is safe once it is connected to a network or the Internet.
The College’s and CUNY’s Internet Security Officers continually scan our network for compromised or infected computer systems. If your computer becomes infected or compromised, you are likely to lose access to the College’s network.
This is done to minimize the damage to the infected computer and also to protect the rest of the College’s computers and networks. To regain access, your computer will have to be totally cleaned and installed with the latest updates and patches.
Therefore, please take the time to learn about computer security risks and take all the measures to protect your computer.
Remember awareness is the best defense against system vulnerabilities.
The following provides some basic information on securing your computer and safeguarding your identity.
If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please contact the Department of Information Technology at helpdesk@jjay.cuny.edu or call (212) 237-8200. Thank you.
