Information Security and Privacy is everyone’s business

Posted on Tuesday, January 11th, 2022

Protecting the privacy and security of employee and learner information at Algonquin College is everyone’s job. Data Privacy Month in January exists to ensure every member of the College community has the knowledge and tools to do the job well.

The College employs its Cyber Security Unit (CSU) to protect learner and employee privacy. Senior Privacy Specialist Stefano Bianco says the team is engaged full-time in deploying state-of-the-art safeguards and technology that scans the College computer network for attacks in real time.

“There are thousands of attacks that our safeguards detect and intercept every day,” Bianco says, “but we still need the College community to be aware and alert and do its part to keep our systems secure.”

When people let down their guard, systems can be compromised. In the last phishing incident, the attackers used compromised accounts to send emails asking people to input their College credentials in a Google form.

“You will never receive an email from the College asking you to do this,” Bianco says. “No College employee will ask you for your College credentials and say they need them to fix something.”
