Cybercriminals are intent on disrupting the critical work we do across Yale. Our peer institutions have seen an increase in these cyber disruptions too. We all play a role in securing Yale's ongoing pursuit of excellence. Your small actions can make a big impact for security at Yale.

How can I get involved?
Cybersecurity, simplified.
There's a lot to know about cybersecurity. We are here to empower you, not overwhelm you. That's why we've come up with four topics to help you be cyber aware, everywhere.
Over the course of the next year, we will introduce awareness campaigns for these four topics. Each campaign will have multi-media messaging, learning opportunities, events, and chances to win exclusive swag.
Our current campaign is Use Secure Passwords.
This topic focuses on how we can "power up our passwords" to stump cybercriminals and keep our information safe. Check out our toolkit and events to build your cyber knowledge.
