New Computer Security Requirements
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley information security act (GLB), credit card security requirements and other government regulations are forcing us to increase the security on our network and all the computers attached to it. The added security will keep users safer when transmitting sensitive information over the network (e.g. passwords to access web resources).

Classroom & Lab Computer Security Software
All classroom and lab computers on both campuses have security software installed. You need to be aware of two effects of this software:
Classroom Podiums:
- Any software that you install will be deleted after shutting down or restarting the computer.
- All changes to program settings will disappear after shutting down the computer.
- All files must be saved to the My Documents folder or removable media before shutting down.
- Files saved to other locations will be deleted and unretrievable when you restart the computer.
