Cybersecurity News & Training

April 3, 2023

Information Systems & Services (ISS) is made up of a few different teams. To keep the community informed and up-to-date with security awareness, our Cybersecurity Team plans to send out a monthly newsletter. Our goal is to help you better understand cybersecurity and provide you with the knowledge and skills to recognize, report, and prevent cyberattacks within MCC.  

Cybercrime is on the rise. The easiest way for hackers to get to an organization is through you! Hackers may use different types of cyberattacks including: digital, in-person, or phone.  

How does ISS help? 

We have a Cybersecurity team who is dedicated to the safety of our community and the security of internet-connected systems and services. This team responds to events, develops standards, provides cybersecurity professional development, and audits IT systems.

Currently, we use Barracuda to filter and block SPAM or phishing emails.
