Cyber Security Awareness Tip of the Day: October 30

October 30 Tip of the Day:

"A few tips for protecting laptops and data include:

• Never leave your laptop unattended in a public area
• Buy a locking cable for your laptop. The cables are available for purchase at the bookstore, through Case Protective Services, or online.
• Make sure you have a screensaver password
• Don't keep sensitive data on a laptop. Instead, keep it on a central or department file server, and wipe your disk free space after you delete working copies from the hard drive.
• Back up data on a regular cycle, and practice recovery from backup"
