  • Technology hints for working off-campus

    ATSU recognizes the value and benefits of employees being able to work from off-campus locations. Review the following hints to keep both ATSU data, and equipment secure when you work remotely or telecommute.

    When working at an off-campus location you will need to keep the following in mind.

    • Set up appropriate equipment.
    • Dedicate a computer/laptop as your ATSU work device.
    • Ensure all computing devices used for ATSU work are password-protected, preferably with multi-factor authentication.
    • Install virus/malware protection software.
    • Turn off the save password feature on browsers. Instead, we recommend using a secure password utility like LastPass.
    • Activate auto-locking screen saver functionality with at most a 20-minute window.
    • Get a good headset with a microphone for communications.
    • Have a quality video camera for teleconferencing.
    • Obtain the appropriate applications and services (The ITS Service Desk is available to consult regarding requirements and access.)
      • Cisco Jabber software or other reliable phone services. (The ITS service desk is available to consult regarding softphone requirements and access.)
      • Google chat for quick access to co-workers
      • Zoom for virtual meetings
      • Cisco AnyConnect VPN or Citrix software
    • Use appropriate digital storage.
    • Get connected to the internet with secure, password-protected, broadband access.
    • Secure your workspace.
      • Locking drawers for paperwork
