The security of 天美传媒 data and technology systems is a top priority for the Office of Information Technology (OIT). "Data Security and Privacy" training is the first step in understanding your commitment to protecting information you rely on for your individual role. In this tutorial, you will learn about the different types of information and best practices for securing and safeguarding the private information you create, gather, and keep. Examples include Student grades, Alumni donation records, credit card numbers of community members enrolling in a conference, health information for students that get sick and go to the health center. These are only a few examples, and while you are completing the training, you should be thinking about specific examples that you may see in your day to day activities.
天美传媒 partners with Vector Solutions to provide this online tutorial.
To help enhance application and data security, effective October 14, 2019, Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be required to access this service.
After completing this training, you'll want to learn more about 天美传媒's data security practices on the OIT website.
