Link of the Month

Each month we highlight an Internet, USENET Special Interest Group (SIG), or similar mailing list(s) or website(s).

In a continued effort to provide security for our students, staff and faculty three critical tools are available to the UNT community:

A UNT Information Security Handbook for Faculty, Staff and Students is available at www.unt.edu/security/handbook.
Our security website has been updated at www.unt.edu/security to help keep UNT computer users informed of the latest computer viruses, worms, and exploits that are attacking computers daily. This website also provides useful information on identity protection, phishing scams, security news, security notices, incident reporting, training and best practices, security assessments, computer use policy, guidelines, and laws.
A distribution website has been provided at http://www.unt.edu/security/distribute.html to help provide security related documents for distribution to UNT Faculty, Staff and Students. It is recommended that these documents be downloaded, printed and distributed by computer labs, libraries and student dormitories as deemed applicable.

Please become familiar with this information to aid you in your effort to secure your computer systems and networks and when communicating sensitive data between UNT departments. If you ever have any security related questions or issues please consult with your technical support group or network manager. You may also send security related questions to security@unt.edu.

Please note that information published in Benchmarks Online is likely to degrade over time, especially links to various Websites. To make sure you have the most current information on a specific topic, it may be best to search the UNT Website - http://www.unt.edu . You can also search Benchmarks Online - http://www.unt.edu/benchmarks/archives/back.htm as well as consult the UNT Helpdesk - http://www.unt.edu/helpdesk/ Questions and comments should be directed to benchmarks@unt.edu
