Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Multi-factor Authentication

The Information Security Office at The University of Scranton recommends implementing multi-factor authentication for any account that permits it, especially any account associated with work, school, email, banking and social media.

The Information Security Office at The University of Scranton recommends implementing multi-factor authentication for any account that permits it, especially any account associated with work, school, email, banking and social media.

Do not approve any unrecognized verification that you did not initiate.
