Every October, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us that protecting Chapman University’s digital community is a shared responsibility. From safeguarding student records and research data to protecting personal information, good cybersecurity habits help keep our campus secure.
This year, we encourage all faculty, staff, and students to focus on four simple but effective practices:
- Safe AI usage
- Watch for Phishing scams
- Using strong passwords and 2FA
- Updating Your Software
These small actions can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks and help protect both your personal information and university resources.
Want to learn more? Visit Chapman University’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month webpage for practical tips, security resources, and guidance on staying safe online throughout October.
Remember, if you receive a suspicious email, do not click any links or open attachments. Instead, report it to abuse@chapman.edu so our Information Security team can investigate. Early reporting helps protect the entire Chapman community.
Together, we can create a safer and more secure Chapman.
Be aware. Be secure. Protect what matters.
