3.3 - Daily Security Procedures for Users

In addition to following procedures for complex passwords and other security measures already discussed in this manual, users should adhere to the procedures on a daily basis:

Manual logoff or lock - When leaving a computer, server, you must manually logoff or lock the device to prevent unauthorized access to University systems or information.

Automated lock – A 15-minute lock policy for all College computers is automatically applied to all college devices.

Computer printed material that is of a sensitive or confidential nature should be stored in a lockable, secure area such as a locked desk drawer or a locked file cabinet.  If the printed material becomes outdated or otherwise obsolete, it should be destroyed in a manner sufficient to render it illegible.
