Cybersecurity
Stay safe online
Follow these simple rules to keep your information safe:
- Only download from approved sources: Stick to software and applications approved by Unisa for work or study.
- Say no to free or cracked software: These can hide viruses and spyware that can harm your device.
- Keep your software updated: Regular updates fix security issues.
Watch out for tricky links
- Hover before you click: Move your mouse over a link to check the actual URL and ensure it points to a trusted site.
- Verify source authenticity: If you receive a suspicious e-mail or message, verify its source by contacting the sender through a separate, known channel.
- Don’t fall for urgent messages: Scammers try to rush you into clicking on a link. Take a moment and think before you act!
