Secure IT: Browsing Safely (accessed through Workday Learning) consists of three short modules that focus on the security habits you should follow when online: safe browsing, recognizing signs of a compromised browser or device, managing updates, looking for signs of encryption and logging off websites to remove sensitive information.

The course is part of OIT's Secure IT series, which will present key information security concepts to protect both you and Brown. We'd appreciate any feedback you have on this course, which you can send to secureit@brown.edu.
