First line of defense for cyber attacks is you

UNMC and Nebraska Medicine face daily threats from cyber criminals. While many security tools and controls are in place, you are our first line of defense.

The Information Security Office will be implementing several new programs in the coming months to ensure that you are prepared to help protect the organization.

In today’s digital age, anyone who has an email address, a smart phone, a computer, or even a credit card is a target.

So what do cyber criminals want from you? They want you to click on links and attachments in phishing emails. They want you to enter your username and password into fake login pages. They want you to hand them the data that we all work so hard to protect.

Be on the lookout for additional information regarding new programs in the coming months. And as always, please continue to report phishing emails and security issues to infosecurity@unmc.edu.
