We've provided some general information below about cloud computing. At RIT, information handling requirements (including the use of non-RIT servers for storage) are articulated in the Information Access and Protection Standard. Refer to the standard for more information about storage restrictions based on information classification.
E-mail is a standard communication tool. Unfortunately, it is also an ideal channel for social engineering and phishing attempts; protect yourself and your information.
Visit the ITS E-mail Services page for RIT e-mail account set-up and usage resources.
Mobile devices are not always designed with security in mind and, as a result, are not as secure as most computers.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that allows for secure transmissions across the Internet between two networks by using a secure "virtual tunnel." Without using VPN, data (including passwords and confidential information) transmitted via the Internet is exposed and can be intercepted by third parties.
