OIT adding advanced threat protections to staff computers
In an effort to increase the security of UAF's technology infrastructure, OIT is in the process of adding additional anti-virus detection measures to all staff computers. The added protections combine continual monitoring, collection of endpoint data, automation and analysis that improve overall detection and response time to potential compromises occurring within the UA network.
Why are we making this change?
This update improves the speed that threats can be detected and the response time
to fend off attacks.
How does this impact me?
These protections will be added to all employee computers by May 20. Employees are
not required to take any action and should not notice any change when using their
equipment. If an employee has experienced any kind of disruption or impact they believe
is a result of this security upgrade, please contact the OIT Service Desk.
How do I get help if I think I have a security problem?
Contact the OIT Service Desk, via phone, email or self-service request.
