How Can I Secure My DJUSD Technology?


#1: Windows Update


Windows provides an easy way to be the most secure you can be. While Windows Update can be annoying for some, the primary function is to provide weekly, sometimes daily, security updates to your device.

#2: Passwords

We get it, Password1234 is super easy to remember, but is your security more important than your ease of access? Having a unique password for each login that you use is safer than changing your password regularly. 

#3: Email/Outlook Security


Scammers target EDU environments because they can easily access the web for employment information and send emails on other's behalf. Move your mouse over the email text example with a hyperlink below (sorry mobile users, this doesn't work for you). You'll see the popup that says a different URL than the one typed out. Make sure to double check the name of the sender and know what you're clicking on in an email.
