As you jump into classes, clubs, and campus life, don’t forget to protect your digital identity. Cybersecurity may not be on your syllabus, but it’s crucial for your success.

Why It Matters
Universities are prime targets for cyberattacks. One wrong click could expose your personal, academic, or financial data. Students are often targeted through fake login pages, scholarship scams, and urgent looking emails pretending to be university staff. 

Stay Informed
Explore the GW Infosec Blog and check myGW for cybersecurity tips, event updates, online guides, and learning materials. Whether you're looking to sharpen your cyber skills or stay informed about upcoming awareness events, these resources will help you up your cyber game. 

Join one of the many events offered by GW IT, our vendors, and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA). Come for essential info and practical techniques to safeguard your digital identity. Virtual and in person events are available, including NCA’s turbocharged game show Level Up. 

Everyone forgets their password once in a while. To ensure you can reset yours easily without needing to visit a Walk-in Support Center, add a secondary Two-Step Authentication (2SA) method. This secondary method simplifies identity verification, which is required for password resets. Using the Microsoft Authenticator App as your primary 2SA method not only secures your account more effectively than SMS texts or phone calls but also streamlines the password reset process by automatically verifying your identity.
