Duke is concerned with keeping our computing resources, including our data, secure. The university's IT Security Office (ITSO) website is filled with information about protecting data, securing computer devices and staying safe on the internet, including alerts about issues the ITSO is tracking and a blog about IT security topics (both of which you can follow through RSS feeds).
