Physical Security | Information Protection and Security

IT Security starts with a physical machine secured by an authorized user. If an unautherized person can sit down at a computer it is only a matter of time before that person can use that computer to compromise your account.

All University guidelines should be followed for general office security.
Some highlights users should be aware of:

Do not prop open any building doors.
Keep the door to your office or dorm room locked when it is unoccupied.
Lock first floor windows, fire escape windows, and security screens.
Don't let strangers use any computer.
Report any problems or possible security violations to your computer support staff, office manager or other building administrator.
Do not walk away from your computer without either locking it, turning it off or putting it into a password protected screen saver mode.
