IT Security Events & Calendar

Launch of IT Security Awareness Program

The IT Security Awareness Program was launched on 1 November 2013 with the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) and Symantec, a leading cyber security company, lending their eminence to the launch with their presence and presentations.

The Cybersecurity website was also launched during the same event.

The theme of the campaign is Protect Yourself. Protect SMU.

This was the first time that IITS is engaging the SMU Community on such a large scale and evidently on a topic that is close to the hearts of our users as event was attended by more than 170 faculty, staff and students.

To commemorate the launch, postcards with safe IT Security messages were distributed to attendees at the talk. These security messages can be downloaded as posters or wallpapers from the Cybersecurity website.

The Cybersecurity website has a rich resource of practical tips on how to protect yourself, your family and your valued assets – conveyed compellingly via cartoons and videos. So do spare some time to visit the website. Who knows? The useful tips within may one day save you from any possible loss of reputation, property and money.

 

Your feedback…

“My biggest takeaway from the session is that cyber security protection is not a product, but rather a process. As individuals, we may never know when a cyber-attack will happen to us, hence staying vigilant is what we really need in order to keep ourselves safe and to protect anything that we value in our life.”

Tan Ying Qian (LEON)

Lee Kong Chian School of Businesst

 

"The session was a good reminder of the vulnerabilities of any system and the responsibilities of the users like me can help to protect our information. Interesting to know that big corporations are targeted through smaller vendors with less security defense."

Elvin Wong

Associate Director, Financial Services Office of Finance

 

From an SIS faculty:

“The talk is very useful. In order that more students may attend, have the talks arranged on Friday afternoons.”

 

Congratulations to Tan Ying Qian and Elvin Wong for both winning ipad mini during the lucky draw!
