Although we are not all computer experts, there are various simple things we can do when working with computers that will minimize this risk. </DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"> </DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">This course will discuss basics on how modifying a few computer settings and making slight changes to your computing behavior in your every day work life will protect your and MIT’s electronic information. An overview of which threats are out there will help you to gain an appreciation for why these few activities are crucial. You will be able to apply much of this information to using your home computers as well.</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">What: Computing Security for Staff</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Where: N42 Demo Center</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">When: July 16, 2007 1:30 - 3:00 pm</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in attending, please respond to Monique Yeaton at <A href="mailto:myeaton@mit.edu">myeaton@mit.edu</A> by the end of the day Friday, July 13th.
