To increase security at QM and ensure that you have a safe environment to work in, ITS Information Security are making changes to better protect our user identities.
An upgrade was implemented today, Wednesday 29 November, for which there is no expected impact. The update should take place as part of the usual restart process during this time.
What this means is that any high-risk activity, such as a suspicious login or visiting an unsafe website, will be flagged. Examples of the messages that you might receive can be found below. You will be able to use QM applications, software and services as usual, but may be asked to validate your login where a risk is detected.
Further information can be found here: Security Advisories (Smoke Signals) - IT Services (qmul.ac.uk) > Protecting your QMUL account.
