Protect Your PII
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is valuable to cybercriminals. Protect it to keep yourself, our college, and our community safe.
-
PII is any information that can be used to identify you, either alone or with other information.
-
Know what PII is: Understand what information is considered PII and why it needs to be protected.
Limit what you share: Only provide PII when necessary and ensure the request is legitimate.
Be cautious online: Don’t share PII in email, text messages, or social media. Verify before you click.
Secure your devices: Use strong passwords, lock your devices, and keep software up to date.
Handle with care: Store and dispose of PII securely, both in print and digital.
Use secure connections: Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive activities.
Verify requests: Confirm the identity of anyone asking for your PII, even if they seem to be from FSCJ.
Think before you post: Oversharing can expose your PII. Be mindful of what you post and who can see it.
