October is Cyber Security Month. We want to share with you some tips on how to keep safe when working online. This week we’ll cover how to report suspicious activity.
Key things to remember:
- Act quickly: the sooner you report an incident, the quicker it can be resolved and the less damage it will cause
- Always report: never assume someone else will report the issue – it's better that several people report something than none at all
- Don't be afraid: even if you think you caused an incident, always report it. Cyber incidents can be difficult to spot and mistakes do happen – letting someone know will help to limit the damage
- Push for change: don't hesitate to flag security processes and policies that don't work or that you feel can be improved
Also, if you have a Microsoft Outlook University mailbox, you can report through the phishing button.
Don't hesitate to ask for guidance or support when something feels suspicious, unexpected or unusual. Please contact the [email protected].
Should the worst case scenario ever happen, you can also report phishing or fraud to the police
