Additional screen for Multi-Factor Authentication
Starting March 10, you will be presented with an additional screen as you log in to the university resources using Duo. Once you click continue, everything else will be the same as you have experienced before.
The university is working to streamline the Multi-Factor Authentication process for the campus community. This is one of a series of updates to be done in the coming months that ultimately make you safer. Protection afforded to your personal and university data because of MFA means there are fewer chances for bad actors to steal your credentials and gain access to sensitive information.
Campus VPN login process changed
- If you already use the Duo app for multi-factor authentication, you will begin using it to access the campus VPN as well. You will be prompted to authenticate each time you connect to the campus VPN.
- You will see fewer options in the drop-down menu.
We added this additional layer of security to the VPN to protect the university. There have been a number of targeted attacks against higher education institutions where their VPN was used as a means for unauthorized access to systems and information.
The Cybersecurity Improvement Initiative
Technology Services and our campus IT partners are embarking on a multi-year effort to increase protection for our people, resources and data.
Need a privacy review?
We can provide free consultative services.
If your university responsibilities include storing, capturing, or processing PII, you could benefit from a privacy review. A privacy review looks at projects that create or collect new PII or use existing personal information in a new way.
Risk assessments make good business sense
If you are unsure who can officially accept certain risks, what the applicable processes look like, who the data stewards for certain data types are or who the risk holder might be for an existing gap, GRC can help.
