Protect yourself

By now hopefully many of us have had our first vaccine and soon we will be better protected if we venture into the outside world. Fortunately it's easier to protect our digital lives and in this edition we tell you more about the extra security that has been implemented for campus PC's.

Please take note that the IT Main Building is currently closed after a positive COVID case was confirmed, but we will reopen on Tuesday, the 10th of August.

Until next time. Keep warm, keep safe.
