For many people, cybersecurity sounds technical – something for ICT specialists sitting at computers guarding lines of code. Until you receive a suspicious email. Or leave your laptop on the train. Or a system suddenly stops working. Then it becomes something that concerns all of us. We spoke with Sabine Marichal, our ICT Security & Risk Officer, about what is done every day to keep UAntwerp digitally secure and why your behaviour is crucial in that respect.
Soon you’ll only be able to log in to your UAntwerp account with multi-factor authentication (MFA). That means you’ll need to perform an extra step after entering your username and password. ‘This extra layer of security is absolutely needed. To avoid last-minute surprises, we recommend already activating the system right now,’ says the ICT Department.
