Cybersecurity Awareness
Cybercrime is something that can impact every organisation and individual in their lifetime.
At UC we want to help each member of our community be safer online because being a victim of cybercrime can have a serious impact on our lives. Loss of money and identity theft are just some impacts that individuals could face.
We want to show you how you can better protect yourself online, so you know what to do if you have - or think you have - been hacked. The information and guidance being provided are intended to give every member of our community the skills to make themselves safer while using UC resources, in the workplace, or at home.
