Prioritize the strength of your password.

Happy Technology Tip Tuesday!

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month (or Cyber-month), and we at ITSS are here to inform you that you should evaluate the strength of your passwords to ensure they are protected from online attackers! 

Passwords are the gateway to most accounts, be they personal or private. These accounts carry important personal details, and weak passwords make it easy for online attackers to misuse and tamper with your information.

Spooked out? Don’t be! We’ve got resources to help you learn about password protection and more! 

UPEI employees (i.e., faculty and staff) can access this week’s Cybersecurity Awareness Training course on Password Protection via the Terranova Cybersecurity Awareness Training Portal. Log in securely to Terranova with our UPEI SSO. 

Additionally, you can learn more about cybersecurity on the “Become CyberSafe” section of the ITSS website at https://go.upei.ca/ithelp.

And don’t forget to tune into Technology Tip Tuesday every week for more tips and to get spooky smart this October!
