Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Guidelines for Protecting your Personal Information online
Carlos Lobato, Chief Privacy Officer at New Mexico State University, will discuss current safe computing practices to help you avoid Identify Theft.
According to Lobato, "We are currently living in a technological era in which we use computing devices pervasively in our daily lives to accomplish many tasks professionally as well as at home.
"Computing devices may include a desktop computer, better known as a personal computer (PC), laptops, iPads, tablets, smart phones, home appliances, and many other devices with internet connectivity.
"Inevitably, with the high usage of these devices comes CYBER SECURITY RISKS, which could result in the breach of your privacy and personally identifiable information, which, in turn, could result in identity theft."
Mr. Lobato will provide specific tips on the effective use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Using only your username and a password for data security is no longer considered secure. Following Lobato's presentation, we will have a Q & A session.
