Today's Message

Please be extra mindful about your personal information security and our campus information security during the government shutdown. The agencies that notify industry about high-level threats, like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), are severely compromised. In essence, the people who are furloughed are the people who respond to security incidents. These are the people who patch systems, code fixes, renew security certificates, and notify industry and the nation about active threats.
