Welcome!

Computer networks are a great thing. Like many things that enrich our lives, computer networks are not without risks. This site is here to help keep you safe while on the network.

To start, take a look at the section to the left entitled "Be Aware." This has a series of short articles designed to increase your awareness of the various risks you're likely to see on the Internet, to make you aware of the policies and regulations about using the OSU network and to help you protect yourself and your data from those risks.

Our Links menu is full of things you'll find useful to help combat those risks, as well as provide assistance should you find yourself in trouble.

Finally, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for improving this site. Our "Contact Us" page gives you an easy way to help us make this a useful resource for you.
