IT Security
Find out how to keep your digital world safe
IT security is 10% technology, 90% people and processes.
We are ALL responsible for IT security.
For help, advice, and to report ALL IT incidents, contact IT Services on: servicedesk@abdn.ac.uk or x3636.
We have created a series of short, tailored slideshows for students and for staff to help raise your awareness of information security threats at the University of Aberdeen.
Find out how to protect your user identity, personal data, and PC, and about the part you play in helping to keep the University’s data and systems safe.
