Service Notice: CSAM2022 Week 3 - How strong is your password?

Safe password hygiene is a top strategy in cybersecurity. Yet, “password1234” is still one of the most common passwords in use!  This is like handing the key to the bad guys.  This week, for CSAM, we focus on password security.

1. Take the training for a chance to win. Spend 5 minutes and learn Eight Ways to Strengthen and Secure your Password.  

This week you have a chance to win a month’s pass, and drinks for two (2), at the University Club. Each time you participate, you are entered into the Grand Prize – a chance to win two (2) tickets to the Alumni Gala in Halifax. Thank you to our sponsors: U-Club and the Office of Advancement, Alumni Affairs.

The winner from Week 2 was Terry Aulenbach. Thank you to Lisa Miller, Chartwells, for helping with the draw.

2. Submit a phish contest
