Please see the following announcement from the Office of Information Technology. Data security is very important to researchers, so being aware of efforts to improve data security is an important responsibility for us all.
Your data’s privacy depends on your ability to secure it safely.
Your ability to secure your data depends on what you know.
During Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) in October, the NC State Office of Information Technology, along with the NC State Department of Computer Science, ePartners Program, LabCorp, and MetLife, is co-sponsoring “Protect the Pack: You are Security” to provide you with valuable yet simple advice to protect your personal and work-related data and devices.
This year’s event will highlight a four-member panel of Google Security experts on Wednesday, Oct. 21 who will answer questions about the type of content that should be stored in Google Drive and the level of security the university’s G Suite environment provides. This panel discussion will be held at 2 p.m. online and is open to the novice and the experienced NC State G Suite user. Event participants will have an opportunity to win great prizes, including a Fire TV 4K Essentials Bundle, a RT ROCKTEK G1 Android TV 9.0, a Jabra Speak 410 portable conference speaker, and Yubikeys.
