October is Information Security Awareness Month

During October, Texas A&M University will be participating in the national campaign to raise awareness of computer security issues. The campaign's theme, "It's Up To You," will emphasize how your daily activities can impact the security of your computer, your personal information, and the campus network. Students can take the online "Security Challenge" and enter to win prizes including iPods and restaurant gift certificates. Visit the new Information Security web site (http://security.tamu.edu/) for specific tips for maintaining a safe and secure computing environment. If you have any questions about information security issues, please contact Help Desk Central at 979.845.8300 or helpdesk@tamu.edu.
