Dataprivaatheidsdag

Saterdag, Januarie 30th, 2021

Dataprivaatheidsdag is nog in sy kinderskoene in Suid-Afrika. Dié inisiatief is reeds sedert 2007 aktief in Europa en twee jaar later het Amerika ook begin deelneem. 

Dataprivaatheidsdag (in Europa ook bekend as Databeskermingsdag) ʼn internasionale dag wat jaarliks op 28 Januarie herdenk word en die bewustheid rondom die beskerming van persoonlike data bevorder. 

Alhoewel Databeskermingsdag reeds vir meer as tien jaar bestaan, is die bewustheid oor die beskerming van data van kritiese belang. Die rede is tweeledig. Eerstens is die voorkoms van databreuke kommerwekkend, ook by groot maatskappye wat voldoende maatreëls in plek behoort te hê om kliënte se data te beskerm.

Wat ons bring by punt twee – GDPR. Voorheen was maatskappye nie wetlik verplig om kliënte se data te beskerm nie. GDPR en POPI-wetgewing het dit verander. Maatskappye word nou verantwoordelik gehou vir kliëntedata en kan swaar beboet word as hulle inligting onbeskermd laat.

Maar hoekom is data so belangrik? Volgens Mark Barrenechea, Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte by OpenText, bou ons elke dag stukkie vir stukkie ʼn digitale weergawe van onsself. Deur middel van jou digitale voetspoor is dit dan maklik om inligting oor jou te kry – persoonlike inligting soos gebruikersname en wagwoorde, jou fisiese bewegings wat deur Google afgeloer word of jou belangstellings, gunsteling-restaurant of vriende. Algoritmes kyk na jou inligting en voorspel jou optrede. Elke stukkie inligting maak deel uit van die groter prentjie wat tot jou nadeel gebruik kan word.

Tegnologie maak dit maklik om data te deel en daarom moet jy self verantwoordelikheid neem vir die beskerming daarvan. Ons kan nie meer staatmaak op maatskappye of sosiale netwerke om ons digitale identiteit te beveilig as ons dit self vrywilliglik blootstel nie. Dis duidelik uit verskeie databreuke oor die afgelope paar jaar – insluitende groot maatskappye soos Facebook en Google.

Databeskermingsdag is net een dag in die jaar waar data-eienaars (enigiemand wat ’n digitale platform gebruik) bewus gemaak kan word van die belangrikheid van data. Ons moet egter elke dag kennis dra van die risiko’s. Hoe kan jy jou data beskerm? Jy weet reeds, jy moet dit net begin doen of beter doen. www.digitalguardian het ʼn deeglike gids oor databeskerming, maar hier is 10 wenke om mee te begin:

  1. Gebruik netwerke met enkripsie wanneer jy toegang nodig het tot belangrike inligting. Gratis Wi-Fi is handig, maar dis ’n risiko. Indien jy webwerwe besoek wat nie https gebruik nie, onthou dat jou data deur enigiemand anders gesien en misbruik kan word.
  2. Kies sterk wagwoorde. Weet nie hoe nie? Hier is ʼn paar wenke. Gebruik twee-faktor bekragtiging of nog beter – ’n wagwoordbestuurprogram.
  3. Beskerm jou wagwoorde. Moet dit nie neerskryf nie. Moet dit nie deel nie. En die belangrikste van almal – moenie dieselfde wagwoord gebruik vir al jou sosiale netwerke of ander webwerwe gebruik nie.
  4. Dateer jou sagteware op wanneer dit jou por. Moet dit nie ignoreer omdat jy haastig is nie – dit kan ʼn belangrike sekuriteitsopdatering insluit.
  5. Dateer gereeld jou an-tivirus sagteware op. Nuwe weergawes van virusse en malware word daaglikse vrygestel. As jy dit nie opdateer nie, is jy ’n maklike teiken. Gebruik anti-virus programmatuur vir jou mobiele toestelle – hulle is selfs meer kwesbaar as jou rekenaars.
  6. Gaan die privaatheidverstellings op jou slimfoon na. Dink voordat jy sommer vir ’n toepassings toegang gee tot jou foon.
  7. Sluit jou slimfoon en tablet wanneer jy dit nie gebruik nie. Jy gebruik dit vir sosiale media en bankdienste en dit bevat al jou persoonlike inligting. 
  8. Aktiveer die “remote location” en die toestel-skoonvee funksies. Indien jou mobiele toestel gesteel word, kan niemand toegang tot jou inligting kry nie.
  9. Verwyder jou data van ou toestelle, byvoorbeeld ou slimfone wat verkoop, weggegooi of vir iemand anders gegee word.
  10. Rugsteun jou data op ʼn daaglikse basis. As jou jy jou toestel verloor of dit malware kry, het jy nog ’n kopie.

Safelinks beskerm jou teen strikroof

Donderdag, Oktober 8th, 2020

In Januarie 2020 het Informasietegnologie Safe Links,`n voorkomende sekuriteitshulpmiddel, geaktiveer om personeel en studente te beskerm teen strikroofaanvalle.

 Jy sou moontlik opgemerk het dat die skakels in jou e-posse die afgelope paar maande skielik `n ekstra lang adres wys as jy met die muis daaroor beweeg. Die skakel sal begin met https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ gevolg deur die webwerf se skakel. Hierdie proses is `n ekstra hekkie wat in ons Microsoft sekuriteitsfunksie gebou. Die funksionaliteit gaan na of `n webwerf as gevaarlik of hoë risiko gelys is en indien wel, keer dit dat jy op die skakel kliek. Indien jy op die skakel kliek sal die volgende waarskuwing verskyn. 

Definisie van Safe Links

“Safe Links is a feature in Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection that provides URL scanning and rewriting of inbound email messages in mail flow, and time-of-click verification of URLs and links in email messages and other locations. Safe Links scanning occurs in addition to the regular anti-spam and anti-malware protection in inbound email messages in Exchange Online Protection (EOP). Safe Links scanning can help protect your organisation from malicious links that are used in phishing and other attacks.”  

Met hierdie addisionele funksie word sommige van die strikroof- en sekuriteitsrisikos waarmee personeel en studente gekonfronteer word verminder. Dit beteken egter nie dat jy gerus moet wees wanneer jy e-posse oopmaak nie.

Maak seker jy weet wat die basiese tekens is van `n strikroof e-pos. Dink en lees voor jy op `n skakel kliek of `n aanhangsel kliek.
Informasietegnologie kan jou slegs beskerm tot op `n punt, die res is jou verantwoordelik. Dit is, in besonder, van toepassing terwyl ons tans van die huis af werk. 

 

 

Onthou om te registreer vir MFA

Dinsdag, September 8th, 2020

Verlede maand het ons jou vertel van die beplande implementering van MFA (Veelfaktor-bekragtiging). Dankie aan die 28 671 personeel en studente wat reeds registreer het vir die gebruik van MFA. 

Indien jy steeds onseker is oor hoe MFA werk, hier is meer inligting.

Alhoewel ons nog nie MFA aktiveer het nie, sal daar van alle personeel en studente verwag word om veelfaktor-bekragtiging te gebruik vir enige van die Microsoft 365-toepassings (Outlook, Sharepoint Online, OneDrive for Business, ens.) sodoende hulle inligting en die universiteit se netwerk te beskerm. Indien jy nog nie registreer het nie, beveel ons aan dat jy dit so gou moontlik doen deur die volgende stappe te volg.

Indien jy enige vrae het, kyk asb. na ons FAQ-dokument en as jou vraag nog nie beantwoord word nie, teken asb. jou versoek aan op die ICT Partner Portal waarna ʼn tegnikus jou sal kontak. Jy is ook welkom om vrae vir ons te stuur na help@sun.ac.za en ons sal dit byvoeg by die FAQs. 

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) FAQs

Donderdag, Augustus 6th, 2020

Information Technology recently enabled MFA for our staff and students. Soon all staff and students will be required to use multi factor authentication to secure their information and the university’s network. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What is MFA?  

Multi-Factor Authentication adds a second layer of security to your account to ensure that your account stays safe, even if someone else knows your password.

Can I enrol for MFA if I stay in an area without cell phone signal? 

No, you need a cellphone with reception to enrol for MFA.

Which IT services will be activated for MFA? 

For the first phase all Microsoft365 (Outlook, Sharepoint Online, OneDrive for Business, etc.) applications will require MFA authentication. 

What will happen if a service is activated for MFA? 

Before you can access the service you will be requested to enter the one-time pin number that will be sent to the cell phone number that you have indicated during the enrolment process. Or if you chose to use the Authenticator App a message will be sent to your phone via the app which request that you approve and in some cases it might also ask for a scan of your thumbprint.
