New Email Security Features

In response to the significant increase in Phishing attacks that we (and many other institutions) have been encountering over the last year, ITS is implementing additional security measures through a product called Advanced Threat Protection (ATP). A few things you should understand about ATP...

ATP scans all email attachments to see if they might contain malware. If ATP detects malware, it will remove the attachment, and deliver the email to recipient. This feature works relatively well, but occasionally, ATP will remove a legitimate attachment. If you happen to receive a legitimate email that indicated an attached document (But, does not actually contain a document), please contact the ITS Helpdesk and we will retrieve the attachment for you. Something to note: Because ATP is testing each and every attachment; there may be a 5 minute delay in the delivery of emails that contain

attachments.

ATP "rewrites" URLS that appear to contain malicious links. The rewritten URL directs you to a Web page that tells you what ATP did and how you can reinstate a legitimate URL that was falsely identified as malicious.

As with any layer of threat protection, sometimes malicious emails get through. When it comes to social-engineering attacks such as malware and Phishing, your saavy instincts are an essential layer of deterrence. Please continue to be vigilant when receiving attachments and never input your username and password in a Web page that was sent via email. If something doesn't seem to be right, please take a moment and contact the ITS Helpdesk.

Fiat Lux!

Turner Teaching Fellow in Ceramic Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.

Artist Statement:

My romantic life, at once tender and desperate, is the substance of my work. More specifically, I am interested in the ways that I project and receive desire (as Roland Barthes said, "I am devoured by desire, the impulse to be happy"), and negotiate my own relative experiences within it. This endless exchange between lovers - the absences, the expectations, the gravities, the intimacies, the small catastrophes - is the realm into which I want to invite viewers.

TIAA Consultant on Campus
