Cybersecurity is the method of protecting and recovering networks, devices, and programs from any type of cyberattacks.  Cyberattacks are a growing threat to the college, faculty, staff, and students. They are typically designed to access or destroy sensitive data or extort money.

It’s important to have a strong cybersecurity system that has multiple layers of protection spread across computers, devices, networks, and programs. But a strong cybersecurity system doesn’t rely solely on cyber defense technology; it also relies on people making smart cyber defense choices. 

The IT Cyber Security team is bridging the gap between safe computing practices and powerful security tools by protecting Columbia College Chicago digital network from malicious attacks. 

We provide additional information to learn more about cybersecurity and how to help defend yourself against cyber threats, and how to recognize and avoid threats before they infiltrate your network or devices.
