Dartmouth employs a layered approach to information security, using several different types of hardware and software to provide the best security level available.
Firewalls and e-mail filtering are part of the central security measures in place at the College. But you should know what's at risk for you and what you can do avoid being a victim of cybercrime, especially how to keep safe online.

Several initiatives to combat cybercrime are taking place at Dartmouth. Learn more about:

• Dartmouth Information Security Committee (DISC)
• Cyber Security Initiative (CSI)
• Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS)
• Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P)
