Information security guide

Student’s information security in a nutshell

  1. You are responsible for all activities carried out under your user ID. Apart from your personal data,
    also remember to protect other people’s information that is in your possession. Never tell your
    password to anyone else.
  2. Choose a password that is easy for you to remember but impossible for others to figure out.
    Choose different passwords for the university systems and any external services.
  3. Don’t open e‐mail messages if you are uncertain of their origin. E‐mail messages may contain
    malware or direct you to sites that contain malware.
  4. Beware of phishing, i.e. messages asking you to share your user ID and password or enter them on
    a website. System administrators never ask for your password.
  5. Always check the actual target address before clicking a link. Be extra careful with regard to links
    received in messages. Learn to tell which Internet addresses are genuine and which indicate fraud.
  6. Before registering as a user of an online service, always check the terms and conditions to make
    sure that data ownership will not be transferred and no data will be disclosed to third parties. Think
    carefully before sharing information about yourself or others in various online services (Facebook,
    photo sharing services, etc.).
  7. Malware spreads efficiently through social media and online services. Be cautious about pop‐up
    windows, advertisements and invitations ‐ click carefully!
  8. Protect your own computer with a firewall, anti‐virus software, back‐up copies and software
    updates. In addition, protect your smart phone and other mobile devices e.g. with a lock code. Only
    install applications that you really need on your computer and mobile devices.
  9. Don’t use a USB flash drive as the primary or only data storage. If you intend to save sensitive data
    on a flash drive, get one that encrypts the data.
  10. If you print something using a shared printer, pick up your printout immediately.
  11. If you suspect a security breach or system abuse, contact the person in charge of the service.

Staff member’s information security in a nutshell

  1. Handle work-related tasks using the equipment provided by your employer whenever possible.
  2. You are responsible for all activities carried out under your user ID. Protect all information in your
    possession, both your personal as well as university-related matters. Never tell your password to
    anyone else.
  3. Choose a password that is easy for you to remember but impossible for others to figure out.
    Choose different passwords for the university services and any external services.
  4. Make arrangements to ensure that your e-mail is monitored even when you are absent. Set
    automatic out-of-office responses when necessary.
  5. Don’t open e-mail messages if you are uncertain of their origin. E-mail messages may contain
    malware or direct you to sites that contain malware.
  6. Beware of phishing, i.e. messages asking you to share your user ID and password or enter them on
    a website form. System administrators never ask for your password.
  7. Always check the actual target address before clicking a link. Be extra careful with regard to links
    received in e-mail messages. Learn to tell which Internet addresses are genuine and which indicate
    fraud.
  8. Before registering as an online service user, always check the terms and conditions to make sure
    that data ownership will not be transferred and no data will be handed over to third parties. Think
    very carefully about sharing information about yourself or the university in various online services
    (Facebook, photo sharing services, etc.).
  9. Malware spreads quickly through web services and social media. Be cautious about pop-up
    windows, advertisements and invitations – click carefully!
  10. Protect your own computer with a firewall, anti-virus software, back-up copies and software
    updates. Also, protect your smart phone and other mobile devices e.g. with a lock code. Only install
    applications that you really need on your computer and mobile devices.
  11. Don’t use a flash drive as the primary or only data storage. If you intend to save sensitive data on a
    USB flash drive, get one that encrypts the data.
  12. If you print something using a shared printer, pick up your printout immediately.
  13. If you suspect a security breach or system abuse, contact the university’s IT support or the person
    in charge of the service.
  14. When your employment relationship ends, agree on the hand-over of necessary work-related
    materials to the university with your supervisor.
