Protect Personal and College Devices
By using their digital devices to access college emails or accounts, students introduce security risks to Vernon College data. Vernon College students must keep both their personal and college-issued computer, tablet, and cell phones secure. They can do this by doing the following:
Keep hardware and software secure
- Choose and upgrade a complete antivirus software.
- Do not leave devices exposed or unattended.
- Keep all devices password protected.
- Install security updates of browsers and systems monthly or as soon as updates are available.
- Log into college accounts and systems through secure and private networks only.
- Avoid accessing internal systems and accounts from other people’s devices or lending their own devices to others.
