1 CYBER-SAFETY BASICS A computer security tutorial for UC Davis students, faculty and staff
2 I N T R O D U C T I O N This tutorial provides some basic information and practical suggestions for protecting your personal information and computer from cyber-attacks. Cybersafety topics covered include: What is Cyber-safety? Cyber-safety Threats Consequences of Inaction Cyber-safety Actions Cyber-safety at Home &Work Campus Cybersafety Services 2
3 W H AT IS C YBER- SAFETY? Cyber-safety is a common term used to describe a set of practices, measures and/or actions you can take to protect personal information and your computer from attacks. At UC Davis, we have the Cyber-safety Program policy, PPM , ( which establishes that all devices connected to the UC Davis electronic communications network must meet certain security standards. As part of this policy, all campus units provide annual reports demonstrating their level of compliance. Further, there are services in place to help all students, faculty and staff meet the cyber-safety standards. Specific information about these services is provided in this tutorial. UC Davis Mrak Hall 3
4 C YBER- SAFETY T H R E AT S First, let s talk about some common cyber-safety threats and the problems they can cause... Viruses Viruses infect computers through attachments and file sharing. They delete files, attack other computers, and make your computer run slowly. One infected computer can cause problems for all computers on a network. Hackers Hackers are people who trespass into your computer from a remote location. They may use your computer to send spam or viruses, host a Web site, or do other activities that cause computer malfunctions. Identity Thieves People who obtain unauthorized access to your personal information, such as Social Security and financial account numbers. They then use this information to commit crimes such as fraud or theft. Spyware Spyware is software that piggybacks on programs you download, gathers information about your online habits, and transmits personal information without your knowledge. It may also cause a wide range of other computer malfunctions. 4
5 C O N S E Q U E N C E S OF I N A C T I O N In addition to the risks identified on the previous slide, as part of the UC Davis community you may face a number of other consequences if you fail to take actions to protect personal information and your computer. Consequences include: Loss of access to the campus computing network Loss of confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of valuable university information, research and/or personal electronic data Lawsuits, loss of public trust and/or grant opportunities, prosecution, internal disciplinary action or termination of employment 5
6 C YBER- SAFETY A C T I O N S The following slides describe the top seven actions you can take to protect personal information and your computer. These actions will help you meet the UC Davis Cyber-safety Program policy standards. By implementing all seven of these security measures, you will protect yourself, others, and your computer from many common threats. In most cases, implementing each of these security measures will only take a few minutes. You can find more about cyber-safety on the UC Davis Computer Security Web site ( 6
7 T OP S EVEN C YBER- SAFETY A C T I O N S Additional information about each of the actions below is provided on slides Faculty and staff should work with their technical support coordinator before implementing these measures. 1. Install OS/Software Updates 2. Run Anti-virus Software 3. Prevent Identity Theft 4. Turn on Personal Firewalls 5. Avoid Spyware/Adware 6. Protect Passwords 7. Back up Important Files 7
8 INSTALL OS/SOFTWARE UPDATES Updates-sometimes called patches-fix problems with your operating system (OS) (e.g., Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X) and software programs (e.g., Microsoft Office applications). Most new operating systems are set to download updates by default. After updates are downloaded, you will be asked to install them. Click yes! To download patches for your system and software, visit: Windows Update: to get or ensure you have all the latest operating system updates only. Newer Windows systems are set to download these updates by default. Microsoft Update: to get or ensure you have all the latest OS and Microsoft Office software updates. You must sign up for this service. Apple: Unix: Consult documentation or online help for system update information and instructions. Be sure to restart your computer after updates are installed so that the patches can be applied immediately. 8
9 RUN ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE To avoid computer problems caused by viruses, install and run an anti-virus program like Sophos. Periodically, check to see if your anti-virus is up to date by opening your antivirus program and checking the Last updated: date. Anti-virus software removes viruses, quarantines and repairs infected files, and can help prevent future viruses. UC Davis students, faculty and staff can get Sophos for their work and home computer for FREE on the Internet Tools CD (available from IT Express in Shields Library). Sophos can also be downloaded for free from the UC Davis Software License Coordination Web site ( 9
10 PREVENT IDENTITY THEFT Don't give out financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, driver s license numbers or other personal identity information unless you know exactly who's receiving it. Protect others people s information as you would your own. Never send personal or confidential information via or instant messages as these can be easily intercepted. Beware of phishing scams - a form of fraud that uses messages that appear to be from a reputable business (often a financial institution) in an attempt to gain personal or account information. These often do not include a personal salutation. Never enter personal information into an online form you accessed via a link in an you were not expecting. Legitimate businesses will not ask for personal information online. Order a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus-equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. Reports can be ordered online at each of the bureaus Web sites. Make sure reports are accurate and include only those activities you have authorized. 10
11 TURN ON PERSONAL FIREWALLS Check your computer's security settings for a built-in personal firewall. If you have one, turn it on. Microsoft Vista and Mac OSX have built-in firewalls. For more information, see: Mac Firewall (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.4/en/mh1042.html) Microsoft Firewall ( Unix users should consult system documentation or online help for personal firewall instructions and/or recommendations. Once your firewall is turned on, test your firewall for open ports that could allow in viruses and hackers. Firewall scanners like the one on simplify this process. Firewalls act as protective barriers between computers and the internet. Hackers search the Internet by sending out pings (calls) to random computers and wait for responses. Firewalls prevent your computer from responding to these calls. 11
12 AVOID SPYWARE/ADWARE Spyware and adware take up memory and can slow down your computer or cause other problems. Use Spybot and Ad-Aware to remove spyware/adware from your computer. UC Davis students, faculty and staff can get Spybot and Ad-Aware for free on the Internet Tools CD (available from IT Express in Shields Library). Watch for allusions to spyware and adware in user agreements before installing free software programs. Be wary of invitations to download software from unknown internet sources. 12
13 PROTECT PASSWORDS Do not share your passwords, and always make new passwords difficult to guess by avoiding dictionary words, and mixing letters, numbers and punctuation. Do not use one of these common passwords or any variation of them: qwerty1, abc123, letmein, password1, iloveyou1, (yourname1), baseball1. Change your passwords periodically. When choosing a password: o Mix upper and lower case letters o Use a minimum of 8 characters o Use mnemonics to help you remember a difficult password Store passwords in a safe place. Consider using KeePass Password Safe ( Keychain (Mac) or an encrypted USB drive to store passwords. Avoid keeping passwords on a Post-it under your keyboard, on your monitor or in a drawer near your computer! 13
14 BACK UP IMPORTANT FILES Reduce your risk of losing important files to a virus, computer crash, theft or disaster by creating back-up copies. Keep your critical files in one place on your computer s hard drive so you can easily create a back up copy. Save copies of your important documents and files to a CD, online back up service, flash or USB drive, or a server. Store your back-up media in a secure place away from your computer, in case of fire or theft. Test your back up media periodically to make sure the files are accessible and readable. 14
15 C YBER- SAFETY AT H O M E Physically secure your computer by using security cables and locking doors and windows in the dorms and off-campus housing. Avoid leaving your laptop unsupervised and in plain view in the library or coffee house, or in your car, dorm room or home. Set up a user account and password to prevent unauthorized access to your computer files. Do not install unnecessary programs on your computer. Microsoft users can download the free Secunia Personal Software Inspector ( which lets you scan your computer for any missing operating system or software patches and provides instructions for getting all the latest updates. 15
16 C YBER- SAFETY AT W ORK Be sure to work with your technical support coordinator before implementing new cyber-safety measures. Talk with your technical support coordinator about what cyber-safety measures are in place in your department. Report to your supervisor any cyber-safety policy violations, security flaws/weaknesses you discover or any suspicious activity by unauthorized individuals in your work area. Physically secure your computer by using security cables and locking building/office doors and windows. Do not install unnecessary programs on your work computer. 16
