Information Security

• The user is responsible for correct and sufficient use of the tools each computer system provides for maintaining the security of stored information.

• Computer accounts, passwords, and other types of authorization are assigned to individual users and should not be shared with others.

• The user should select an obscure password and change it frequently.

• The user should understand the level of protection each computer system automatically applies to files and supplement that protection, if necessary, for sensitive information.

• The user should be aware of computer viruses and other destructive computer programs, and take steps to avoid being either their victim or propagator. Minimally, the user must ensure that appropriate antivirus software is operational on all personal computers and that virus definitions are kept current.
