Information Technology provides tools and ongoing training to protect the personal information and intellectual property of our campus community.

Good cyber hygiene starts with individuals. Here are a few reminders:

North Park will never ask you for your password or authentication codes.
Do not respond to text messages or emails asking for any personal information. Think twice about any solicitation for your information.
Report any suspicious activity (emails, texts, links, sites, etc.) to Information Technology.
Use passwords that are strong and unique: special, never recycled, and never shared with anyone.
Update your multi-factor authentication (MFA) to use the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Keep the operating systems, browsers, and software updated on all your devices.

Employee Training

All Employees are required to be current on cybersecurity training via KnowBe4.
