In an effort to increase awareness of cybersecurity, IT Services staff will be posted across campus throughout the month of October to educate and inform the community of cybersecurity best practices. Stop by our table in the Arkansas Union on Wednesday, Oct. 4, and Tuesday, Oct. 17, to receive information, ask questions and get swag for learning to keep yourself, your information and your devices protected.
