IT workplace security

Not only the university's central IT systems and IT infrastructure must be protected against attacks and threats, but also the decentralized IT workplaces.  Every individual can help prevent IT security incidents by acting responsibly and security-consciously.

We have summarized the most important rules of conduct in the 11 Golden Rules for increasing IT security.

Outdated operating systems pose an increased IT security risk. Therefore, only current operating systems, including installed security patches, may be used.

Special instructions apply to the use of private devices in the university network and mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or notebooks.

Please keep yourself informed about the latest IT security announcements, such as the end of support for Windows 10.

We recommend the online IT awareness courses offered by the Human Resources Development Department, which provide information on how to respond to security incidents, secure password management, spam and phishing, the basics of cyber security, etc.
