October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and to help raise awareness on campus we're dedicating two Tech Talk's this fall to security. Yesterday, desktop support analyst Mike Heinold got us started by talking about Windows Security. 

In his talk, Mike looked at ways to keep your computer safe from viruses and spyware, how to keep your computer up-to-date with Windows automatic update, how to keep intruders away with Windows firewall, and how to control spam filter settings.  If you missed the talk, you can review the PowerPoint presentation.

On October 9, network administrator Quentin Dodd will give a Tech Talk titled Network Security and Identity Theft. As always, Tech Talk's are held in Baxter 114. Talks begin at 12:10pm, with lunch available in Baxter Lounge at noon.
