Power Up Your Protection - Level 4: The Final Lap

Quick Overview
  • Covers physical security, email security, safe use of work devices, and fake websites
  • Opens Monday, Oct. 26 in ZenGuide; start it from your Level 4 email from IT Security
  • Takes about 25 minutes
  • All levels should be completed by Friday, Oct. 30

The Final Lap is about the small, everyday habits that stop most attacks before they start.

In This Level

  • Screen Savers: Physical Security (game)
  • Laptopia: Email Security (game)
  • Risky Uses of Work Devices (interactive module)
  • Spot the Difference: Cybersecurity on the Web (game)

Know the Signs

  • Links whose real address doesn’t match the text, or web addresses with misspellings or extra words
  • Pop-ups that claim your computer is infected or ask you to call a support number
  • Unknown USB drives or devices plugged into your computer
  • People following you into secured areas without badging in

Protect Yourself

  • Lock your screen whenever you step away: Windows key + L on Windows, or Control + Command + Q on a Mac
  • Use SFA devices for SFA work, and install updates when prompted
  • Go to important sites directly instead of following links. A padlock icon doesn’t mean a site is legitimate.

Important

This Week’s Challenge

  1. Lock it every time you step away from your desk this week.
