This is the pre-newsletter news for October. The full newsletter will post on Monday, October 7th. Welcome to October! Along with cooler temperatures, an upcoming fall break, and the start of the holiday season, October brings us Cybersecurity Awareness Month!…

Welcome to September! Classes are well underway, as are other activities like sports, clubs, jobs, and old routines (or maybe brand new ones). This new academic year brings us new challenges and new resources to face those challenges. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is continually working to improve our defenses against cyber-attackers and I want to explain the ramifications of some of these improvements as they may impact your user experience.

Welp! August is here! Welcome to the end of summer (although the temperatures will not agree with that statement for a while, most likely) and the beginning of the Fall 2024 semester. Some of you will read this well before classes start and others may not see it until after August 26th, so I’ll say “welcome” to those of you who have not read this newsletter before and “welcome back” to those who have.

Welcome to nearly the end of June! I hope everyone is adjusting well to the summer temperatures. The newsletter has taken a back seat to a number of other initiatives in process and will be brief and to the point. As we approach the end of our fiscal year, there are many irons in the fire for everyone. I have two interesting points to make about phishing emails (what else?), a reminder about proper email hygiene, and a question about cybersecurity awareness training frequency and duration.

Welcome to the summer months at Berry! Graduation is past us, as are the busy weeks before and after it. This is why you are just now seeing this newsletter at the midpoint of the month. I knew no one had time to read this while everything else was happening. On the topic of things that are NOT happening anymore, that would be Spring 2024 Cybersecurity Awareness Training.

Hello, faithful (or first-time) reader! Welcome to the April information security newsletter. While I generally post these the first Monday of the month, this newsletter has been delayed for a number of reasons.

Life likes to throw us curve balls every now and then. Some people believe this is something that makes life interesting, but I am not really in that camp. I can’t say the lack of a February newsletter was actually the result of a curve ball; it was more like a slow sinker.
