• Be cautious of suspicious e-mails, phone calls or text messages. These should be reported to the IT Information Security team via the e-mail address phishing@marshall.edu.
• If you see something, say something. If you believe a campus resources is at risk or has been compromised, please contact the IT Service Desk at 304-696-3200. Indicate that you are requesting assistance with an information security incident or concern and if your report is urgent. Your information will be escalated to the IT Information Security team.
• Have a backup plan for your important data.
Marshall students, faculty and staff have access to 1TB of personal file storage through their Marshall OneDrive account. See https://www.marshall.edu/it/onedrive/ for details. Contact your department IT service provider or IT Service Desk to discuss institutional data protection options.
• Take advantage of multi-factor authentication (MFA).
