In a constantly evolving technological world, Information Security is an increasingly important issue that affects all people who, at some point, carry out their activities using Information Technologies.

Sometimes, we believe that our daily tasks are not important in terms of security or that the information we process is of no interest outside of the university environment, this attitude can lead us to a false sense of security.

The responsibility to achieve an adequate degree of security depends on all the instances that comprise the University, from the government team to the end user, each one must contribute his grain of sand to prevent the incidents of safety or, should it occur, minimize the impact as much as possible.

To achieve this goal, then we will show you 10 keys to proactive prevention, complying with these keys we will be closer to achieving the common goal of prevention rather than reacting to possible threats.
