As we prepare for the new academic year, let's refresh our knowledge of security best practices. Whether you're a seasoned faculty or staff member or new to UBC, safeguarding university information is paramount.

Our dedicated Tips for Faculty & Staff page goes beyond the basics, offering valuable guidance on protecting yourself and UBC data on and off campus. Here's a sneak peek of what you'll find:

  • Physical Security: Learn how to secure your devices – laptops, tablets, and even phones – when you're at your desk, away from it, or even commuting.
  • Remote Work: Working from home or a coffee shop introduces unique security challenges. Discover how to stay vigilant when using public Wi-Fi and keep your devices safe from prying eyes.
  • Phishing Awareness: Those "[CAUTION: Non-UBC Email]" banners are there for a reason! The page equips you to identify and avoid phishing attempts.

Invest a few minutes in security – it safeguards valuable UBC information and protects you too!

Head over to the Tips for Faculty & Staff page today and make cybersecurity a priority for the upcoming academic year.
