Computer Security 101-Win Great Prizes! January 28, 2008
Posted by rweidner in : Expert Advice from the ITS HelpDesk, General News, IT Security Tips, News for Students, Safe Computing, Uncategorized , trackbackITS is serious about keeping UM-Flint students as safe as possible from the dangers that lurk in the computing world. Computer safety is so important to ITS that we are willing to go to great lengths to bring this matter to the attention of UM-Flint students. This winter semester current students will have the opportunity to win great prizes, just for demonstrating their computer security knowledge!
Starting Monday, February 11th at 8:00 am, students will be able to log onto http://bb.umflint.edu to take the Computer Security 101 Exam. Any student that passes the exam with 100% will be entered in a random drawing for one of FOUR Grand Prizes: an Apple MacBook, a Dell laptop, an 8 GB iPod Touch, or a Nintendo Wii. Two 320 GB External HardDrives will also be awarded to two lucky second place winners. The first 50 students to pass the exam with a 100% will automatically win a 2 GB thumb drive. Make sure you take the exam before 11:55 pm on February 17th so that your entry will be entered in the drawing for these great prizes! And don’t worry about passing the exam the first time, you can take it as many times as you need to get 100%. (Once you get a 100% your job is done, then just sit back and wait for the prize winners to be announced after spring break. Getting 100% multiple times on the exam will not win you multiple entries in the drawing.)
Not so sure your computer security knowledge is up-to-date? No problem! ITS has created a Computer Security tutorial to get students ready for the big exam. Checkout http://www.umflint.edu/its/awareness/ for a practice test that will prepare you for the real thing.
