Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025

Posted on Thursday 16 October 2025

We’ve highlighted three critical areas where you can make the biggest difference in protecting yourself, your data, and the entire University community.

Your actions, from securing your accounts to managing sensitive information, are crucial in our defense against cyber threats. 

Throughout the month we’ve also shared short cyber security courses with you each Monday. It is crucial that all staff have an understanding of and comply with the University's cyber security requirements.

Understand more about the simple, effective practices outlined below.

Secure Your Accounts

Your accounts are one of the many targets for cyber criminals. Securing them is one of the many critical steps you can take. Review access to your university Google account. 

Manage Data Responsibly

Did you know that one of the main causes of data breaches at universities is staff accidentally sending emails to the wrong person? We must be mindful of who we share information with. 

Protect Your Personal Information

Phishing is when online attackers send fake emails claiming to be from an organisation you trust, tricking you into compromising your identity and accounts. Learn how to spot phishing emails and what to do if you receive them by visiting the phishing, fraud and scams webpage.
