Security

Risk of data exposure or password compromise increases when you use Cornell services, or work with university data, off campus.

• The networks you use are not controlled by Cornell and may be more open.
• A computer and its data are at greater risk of theft when traveling.
• You may not have up-to-date software and full protection when using a computer that’s not your own.

This section spells out specific risks and steps you can take to protect your passwords and data while working off campus.
