Keeping Your Computer Secure

At Kansas State University, we are lucky to have a very talented staff protecting us from viruses and malicious software. We keep a close eye on our systems to protect our students near and far. You might remember CryptoLocker malware spreading around the world in fall 2013. (If not, check out our IT News article on the CryptoLocker.) Now we are hearing about the Heartbleed Vulnerability.

We want you to know we are keeping up with the newest information on every security threat, and we have resources that can also help our students. (Users wanting to know if other sites are at risk for Heartbleed can check on CNET’s list of sites that have patched the Heartbleed bug.

Information Technology Services is a great location for up-to-date information and resources. If you ever have an issue connecting to Webmail, K-State Online or other campus technologies, check out the information on the Status of ITS Resources page.  Our IT News is also a great resource for learning what hot topics are affecting our campus. The articles are written by experts, and they often link to resources for more information. We also recommend the Antivirus page. Did you know you can download Trend Micro for free?

We invite you to learn more about security threats and stay up to date with IT news.
