Online Security
We use the internet all the time, but unfortunately so do criminals: they're after your computer, your bandwidth, your money, and your identity. However, you can take some simple steps to reduce their chances of success.
Computer Security is taken very seriously at Oxford University. Computer security ranges from the physical basics, such as securing a laptop with a small lock, to the more advanced measures that can be taken to protect email messages from prying eyes.
