Defend Your Data

Together we can create a community that respects privacy, safeguards data and enables trust.

Through the Defend Your Data program, ITS promotes cybersecurity awareness to encourage WVU employees and students to stay safer online. Adhering to three basic concepts will help you develop good habits and prevent you from becoming an easy target: Lock down your Login by securing your online accounts; own your online presence by considering the privacy implications of your actions; and protect your internet-connected devices by keeping a clean machine. Be vigilant in securing your personal information from people who want to steal it!

Remember, ITS will NEVER send you an unsolicited email asking for your Login username and password or other personally identifiable information. The only time you may be asked for that information is after you've contacted the Service Desk for assistance.
