Remote Work 安全 Guidelines
保护好笔记本电脑
确保你的大学笔记本电脑被保存在一个安全的地方，当你不拥有.
Use only your home network and secure WiFi. Do not use free public WiFi.
不要把你的笔记本电脑放在公共场所或你的车里可以看到的地方.
Create a strong Northwest Network Account password.
西北信息技术办公室(OIT)希望员工在使用视频会议时意识到潜在的安全和隐私问题，以及可以采取的避免问题的步骤. You may not feel work conversations between staff are something that needs to be secured, 但员工可能需要与敏感数据共享屏幕或讨论敏感/私人问题, so it is a good idea to follow some basic security measures when setting up meetings.
Some helpful security/privacy features of video conference software are:
Keep software up-to-date
Prevent file download to unmanaged device
Require hosts to be present before meetings start
Disable screen recording (if applicable)
不要与他人分享你的屏幕，如果他们不应该看到的敏感信息可能是可见的
Setting a password for all meetings
Only allow individuals with a given email domain to join
如果你收到来历不明的电子邮件(有时看起来是真的)，里面有重置密码的链接, update account information or with strange file attachments—don’t hesitate to ask the Northwest Technology Service Center at 660.562.1634 or helpdesk@grapevilla.com for guidance or to verify information by phone or other means before proceeding.
Think about who sent the message, 如果不删除，邮件和附件是你通常从发件人那里收到的东西吗.
When it doubt don’t click and throw it out. Don’t reply to that message to ask the person if they sent it, send a new message using an entry from your contacts list.
Validate web pages are correct before entering username and password. 西北不会要求您验证您的访问权限以继续访问工作资源或在电子邮件中提供您的用户名和密码.
云存储
Many employees use cloud-based storage in their work and private lives. Software like Google Drive, 微软的OneDrive和DropBox是非常流行和方便的存储文件的方法，你可以从任何地方获取. Some employees may be doing that now for the first time. 请注意使用这种类型的工作文件选项的安全风险，因为需要注意保持西北公司的信息安全.
Northwest employees need to use OneDrive 因为它是网上赌博网站十大排行官方支持的Office 365套件的一部分，并且基于员工的西北网络帐户凭据. Other 3rd party providers should not be used to store Northwest data and files.
Please do not save any personally identifiable, health or financial information using cloud-based storage options.
把自己想象成云存储文件夹中数据的管理员，在与其他员工共享文件时要小心.
A FINAL WORD ABOUT REMOTE SECURITY
这些指导方针并不全面，可能会根据大学的业务政策/需求和不断发展的网络安全问题进行更改和撤销, 以及, 当地的, state and federal regulations.
