UPEI ITSS reminds campus community about the importance of cyber security

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and with that in mind, ITSS would like to remind you to “protect while you connect.”

Whether you’re sending emails, downloading files at work or school, banking online, or connecting with friends, the Internet has become an essential part of everyday life. It’s also a breeding ground for criminal activity and a place where your information can be compromised. If you take the time to learn about the common threats and risks, and online security, protecting yourself can be easy.
