Security Principles

For not falling off-line

DON'T TELL IT TO ANYONE

The student account is your identity and it is necessary to behave responsibly towards it. It can be abused.

MEMORY IS THE BEST OPTION

Remember your password and never store it near your devices.

PAY ATTENTION TO PRIVACY

Always enter access and other sensitive personal data in private. It pays off to be cautious.

DON'T SAVE AND LOG OUT

Never store your passwords in an Internet browser and log out whenever you stop working on the University system, the Portal or an e-mail.

PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNT AND DATA

Protect your account, including your data. Use a strong passphrase or a complicated numeric code. Do not use a gesture unlock. Do not disclose any of this to anyone, ever.

THINK BEFORE LENDING

Think before you lend your equipment to anyone else. If necessary, restrict or disable access to your data and accounts.

DON'T FILL AND SEND

Never respond to any prompt to fill in and submit your login and password. The University of Ostrava does not need to know your PASSWORD.

THINK CRITICALLY

You won't believe everything you read on the internet. Think about every message that you receive. Is it from a trustworthy source? Could the attachment or link contain a virus? Think twice before you click once.

ANTIVIRUS AND FIREWALL

Keep your device, including your mobile phone, up to date with the latest system. Use an antivirus program and keep it up to date.

BACK UP AND CHECK

Back up your data, make sure the backup is in a different location than your device. Check your backups and protect against misuse just like the original data.

FOLLOW THE RULES AND HONOUR THE LAW
