SMU CSO Presents Insightful, Actionable Ways to “Hack Your Brain” for Cybersecurity
SMU’s very own Chief Security Officer, George Finney, hosted a presentation this week on Hacking Your Brain for Better Cybersecurity. George provided great insights on not just the latest cybersecurity trends, but also how simple actions we can do every day can build positive habits to protect ourselves and those around us.
Duo Two-Factor Authentication Facelift Coming in October
Our Duo two-factor authentication service will soon be introducing an updated mobile app for both Android and iOS. While the core functionality of the app will stay exactly the same, there will be a few design and convenience changes we want to make you aware of. These include:
- Updating the position of the Approve / Deny buttons so that Approve is on the right, a more natural location.
- Improving the accessibility of the app, including adding a landscape view, variable font sizes, and improved color contrast.
- Providing clear guidance on restoring your accounts if you get a new phone.
- Making it easier to find and manage your accounts with a simpler interface.
Stay tuned for the rest of October for more cybersecurity tips to help you stay safe!
