Data Breaches

[Sheri Thompson <sthomp8 () LSU EDU>]

Not sure if you have heard, but LSU has taken a pretty innovative step
toward mitigating the impact of a data breach on its campus.  We have
purchased a full site license to provide all of the LSU faculty, staff,
and students with free credit monitoring through Equifax. While we
realize this isn't some panacea to prevent a breach or an identity
theft,  it does empower our community members so that "when" a breach
occurs (and it really is a given - we've been very lucky so far), they
are already prepared. Feel free to check out our program: 
creditmonitor.lsu.edu <http://creditmonitor.lsu.edu/> , and I'd be
interested in any feedback.  Thanks.

 

Geaux Tigers!
