Network Saftey Tips

Introduction 

Network Security is a set of rules and configurations designed to protect the usability and integrity of your network and data.

Personal Information is Personal

Never post your phone number, address, or other personal information anywhere online.

Make It Appropriate

Post only appropriate pictures that reflect modest dress and behavior. Know who is looking. Potential employers and other influential people could be looking at your profile. Don't give them any reason to suspect you of being the type of person you are not.

Don't Just Click It

Phony advertisements and sites are designed to get your information. Do not click on links or visit sites that might be designed for this purpose.

Don't Invite Junk Mail

Be careful when filling out forms that ask for your e-mail. Many sites will send you junk mail that is hard to get rid of.

Buying and Selling

When selling or purchasing items on the school Bulletin Board only deal locally. Suspicious emails from other countries should be considered fraudulent.

Password 101

Select a strong password to keep your accounts protected. A combination of numbers and letters to a non-word works the best. Also, it is suggested you have several passwords and don't use the same password for all of your accounts.

Don't Get Addicted

The internet can be addictive. If you find that you are staying up late, or spending too much time on your computer, take a break and do something else.
