1 - Information Technology (IT) Security

IT security has become an integral part of the worldwide computing environment, and keeping computers,

networks, and data safe is of utmost importance. In keeping with this trend, CaTS has created a security website

that houses a wealth of information regarding IT security. Please visithttp://www.wright.edu/security/itwright/

to review this information. You can also view a short security video at the following website:

http://www.wright.edu/security/securityvideo/flashvideo.html.

Information to Remember



   

Downloading and installing security updates are crucial when defending against viruses and other

computer oriented attacks

Never allow another person to use your computer account

Close and lock your door whenever you leave your office

Use a password protected screensaver

Lock your workstation whenever you leave for any amount of time

2 - Malware

Malware is a term that encompasses both viruses and spyware. A computer virus is a program that is infectious

and can by highly complex. Viruses implant instructions in other programs or storage devices that can attack,

scramble, or erase computer data.

To check WSU’s current computing status go to the CaTS homepage (http://www.wright.edu/cats/) and look for

the “CaTS Bulletin” button on the right sidebar. Check this location for important computing news or alerts such

as the latest worm/virus outbreak information.

The following activities are among the most common ways of getting computer viruses. Minimizing the frequency

of these activities will reduce your risk of getting a computer virus:

Freely sharing computer programs and system disks

Downloading executable software from public-access bulletin boards

Opening email attachments from people you don't know

2

Spyware is software that watches your activities and collects personal data without your permission. Adware

displays pop-ups and other forms of unauthorized advertising. Because these programs run in the background

while you use your computer, they consume system resources and can slow down your PC significantly.

WSU Policy: Wright State University is concerned with the health of your computer and with maintaining

effective network resources. In the interest of your computer and the health of the University network, you are

REQUIRED to have up-to-date operating system patches as well as virus and spyware scanning software on your

system. In order to ensure uninterrupted network access, you must keep your operating system and all

virus/spyware tools updated.

Virus and Spyware scanning software for home use is available on the ConnectWright website, located at

https://www.wright.edu/cats/cw/.

Information to Remember







Characteristics of spyware: monitoring computer activity, collect personal information, sends

personal information back to the spyware creator

Macintosh computers are susceptible to this type of computer oriented attack; CaTS recommends

users download and install our free antivirus program for the Mac OS

Characteristics of a virus: erase data, scramble data, replicate itself

3 - Firewalls

A firewall is a system that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can

be implemented in both hardware and software formats. Here at Wright State University, CaTS maintains both

hardware and software perimeter firewalls for the entire campus community that control Internet traffic in and

out of our network. For individual computers, personal desktop firewalls, such as Windows Firewall, should be

installed to help prevent unauthorized access.

CaTS manages the security software on all university computers. For home use, the easiest and most convenient

firewall to use is the Windows Firewall, but other popular programs include Zone Alarm and Tiny Firewall, which

can be downloaded from the websitehttp://www.download.com.

Information to Remember



Personal firewalls protect your computer from unauthorized access

4 – Anti-spam Utility

Unsolicited commercial email, also known as spam, has become an increasing problem at WSU. To reduce the

amount of time involved with managing spam, CaTS offers a spam filtering service for faculty, staff, and

students. The service is currently available to all users with CaTS based email accounts (addresses ending in

@wright.edu). Instructions for using the utility can be found at:http://www.wright.edu/cats/antispam/. The screenshot below shows the new End User Digest, a way to see all the spam that the filter has blocked for your account.

5 - Network Drives

6 - Logging into the Campus Network

Recently, Wright State University made a transition from Novell to Microsoft Active Directory for our file storage

and printing network infrastructure. The screenshot below shows what the login screen should look like when you

turn on your computer. To log in, type in your campus “w” username and password and click the blue arrow.

7 – VPN (Virtual Private Network) Software

The AnyConnect VPN from Cisco allows authorized users to securely connect to the WSU data network from the

campus wireless network or from off campus using various commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Using

AnyConnect, wireless and remote users are connected to the university's internal network as if they were directly

connected to the campus network. This allows WSU wireless and remote users to access servers and other devices

restricted to WSU network users. In addition, a VPN connection allows the user to access all network files (Home

H:\ and shared drives K:\). To learn more about VPN software or to download it for your computer, please visit

the CaTS VPN site, located athttp://www.wright.edu/cats/vpn/.

8 – Accessing Your Network Files from Home

If you want to access your personal and departmental files from off-campus you must use the university’s VPN

connection. This connection allows you to securely connect to the WSU data network to access your files stored

on your network drives. In order to use the connection you will be required to install the university’s VPN

software on your computer and use it to connect to your files.

For instructions on how to download, install, and use the VPN client, please visit the following website:

http://www.wright.edu/cats/vpn/. You will need to click on the link for “AnyConnect VPN Registration” to start

the process.

After downloading and installing the software, re-visit the above listed website and click on the “Accessing Your

Files from Home” link under the “Existing AnyConnect VPN Users” section.

Simply exchanging numbers for letters can make a password more secure

Never write down your password, even if you plan to store it in a secure place

11 - WINGS Express (WE)

WINGS Express is a service that allows faculty and staff to access personal information at Wright State University,

including pay information and grade entering. You can access WINGS Express by logging in to WINGS, then clicking

the WINGS Express icon in the top right corner.

12 - University ID (UID) and PIN

Your 9-digit University Identification Number (UID) is assigned to you when you apply as a student or become

affiliated with Wright State University. Your UID never changes and is never re-used. It replaces the use of your

Social Security Number as a permanent, unique ID number identifying you as a member of the university

community. The UID, along with your PIN, is used to access the WINGS Express system.

If you have forgotten your PIN, go tohttp://wingsexpress.wright.edu, enter your UID then click the “Forgot PIN?”

button. Answer your security questions correctly and you’ll be able to create a new PIN.

Email Quota: Faculty/Staff = 250 MB

Official WSU Email Policy: There is an increasing reliance on electronic communication among students, faculty,

staff and administration at Wright State University. Because of this reliance and the acceptance of electronic

communication, email is considered the official means for communication. The University will send official

communications via email and expects that those communications will be received and read in a timely fashion.

Students are expected to check their official email address frequently to stay current with university

communications.

15 – File Encryption

Encryption is the process of transforming information from clear or plain text into a non-readable format so that

only the intended reader can understand or change the message content. Encryption ensures privacy. It is a way

to keep prying eyes from reading confidential information that is sent across the public internet.

Certain software applications have encryption methods embedded in them for sending and receiving secure

information and for the storage of information. There is also third party software available that can be used to

encrypt information.
