Networking and information technology allow us to improve our reach and efficiency, but with great power comes great responsibility. Cyber criminals often target large organizations like 91��Ƶ������վ with phishing scams and social engineering, 2-Factor Authentication is currently the most powerful defense available against these attacks, and 91��Ƶ������վ University is leveraging the Duo Security platform to enable easy and non-intrusive 2-Factor Authentication across secure services such as Banner and E-mail.

 

To begin, start by downloading the Duo Mobile App for your smart phone.  Although the Duo Security platform has multiple ways to provide a second authentication factor, we recommend using the Duo Mobile app for IOS and Android for the best experience.    

 

After you've installed the Duo Mobile application on your phone open a web browser on your computer and navigate to the 91��Ƶ������վ goPortal at  to login to your account by clicking on the "Login to go91��Ƶ������վ Portal".

Phishing is any attempt to disguise electronic communications with the intent to defraud and acquire information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details. As computer networks become hardened against online attacks, social engineering has become a more potent vector and an attractive target for criminals. 91��Ƶ������վ takes network security seriously and asks that you notify staff of any phishing attempts you receive.

What to do to avoid being a Victim

91��Ƶ������վ Employees

• of suspicious messages. You can be the most powerful weapon against Spam and Phishing
• Keep your computer's operating system and antivirus up to date

• In Outlook (client version), right click on the suspicious email, select Junk and click on Block Sender.
• In Outlook Web App (web version), right click on the email and click on Mark as Junk.

91��Ƶ������վ Students

• 91��Ƶ������վ students, .

 

We all play a critical role in keeping institutional data secure and to aid in this task, we ask that you take a skeptical approach to any solicitations that seem suspicious. 91��Ƶ������վ's Information Technology Services will never ask you to disclose your password (via email or otherwise). 

If you suspect that you’re being targeted, please notify information.security@stockton.edu via email or by calling (609) 652-4779. 

Additionally, if you feel unsure about an email message sent from a member within the 91��Ƶ������վ community, please reach out to them or their unit directly for clarification (before clicking on included links or opening suspicious attachments).

While 91��Ƶ������վ and our vendors employ strong security measures to safeguard your data, the main line of defense is a secure password – any level of encryption can be bypassed if a password is compromised through subterfuge, sharing, or simplicity.

 

Keep your password secure.

Never tell someone else your password. 91��Ƶ������վ feels so strongly about this aspect of password protection that it is specifically stated in the acceptable use policy in Standard 2.  Use unique passwords for individual accounts. Do not reuse the same password, or variations of the same password. Additionally, you should use a password manager. These tools can store - and generate - strong, long, and unique passwords for you. Taking these steps greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and helps ensure your personal and institutional data stay secure.

Avoid password pitfalls

Don’t choose a password that uses personal information that someone could easily find out about you. This includes information such as:

• Your name, username, or nickname
• Names or nicknames of friends, relatives, pets, or locations that are special to you
• Numerical data about you such as birth date, social security number, license plate number, phone number, address, or zip code
• Technical terms or names of prominent individuals in your field of expertise

Don’t choose a password that others might also choose. You should avoid:

• Names of famous people such as sports figures, literary characters, mythological figures, biblical figures, actors, or political figures
• Any commercial brand names
• Names of cartoon characters or science fiction characters

Choose a good password

A good password is one that is easy to remember but hard to guess, and the best way to achieve this under our updated 12–64 character requirement is to use a long passphrase. Instead of short or complex strings, you can create a strong passphrase by combining several unrelated real words. A passphrase like "window-carpet-north-pebble" is simple to recall yet extremely resistant to guessing attacks. You can also build a memorable phrase that mixes in numbers or symbols where appropriate, as long as the overall length remains high. The key is to focus on long, unique, and unpredictable combinations that you can remember without relying on personal information.
