Stay safe online T4L’s top 5 cybersafety tips

1 Protect your login information

Don’t share your login with colleagues or students. Your username and password are unique to you and should be protected.

2 Set up a strong password

Use strong passwords or passphrases. Once a term, you’ll be prompted to change your password through the Staff Portal. If you forget your password, call EDConnect on 1300 32 32 32

3 Make sure you have undertaken your mandatory training

The mandatory Cyber Security Essentials training will improve your awareness of how cyberattacks and phishing scams work.

4 Be aware of phishing scams

Phishing emails may contain suspicious links. Do you know the sender? What are they asking you to do? If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Click Report Message and select Phishing in Outlook.

5 Safe browsing online

The department blocks out unsafe or non-educational websites but if you’re planning to use a particular site in your teaching, you can check out the web filter intranet page for more information. You can also request a review of website content from the web filter team.
