Protecting your devices and resolving security issues
- Lehigh uses two software packages to monitor Lehigh-owned computers for malware and viruses: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Avast Business Security. These applications are centrally managed by the LTS Security team, and continuously updated.
- LAN File Storage servers (which house the H: and I: drives) are automatically scanned for infected files using Symantec AV, with alerts going directly to system administrators.
- Phishing - The LTS Security team can help minimize the effect of email scams when they're notified.
- To Report a Scam Email: With the questionable message open in Lehigh Gmail, select the verticalellipsis (three dots) next to the 'Reply' button and choose 'Report Phishing'.
- Helpful training on identifying scams can be found in the "Securing the Human" video series.
- The Student Technology And Repair Services (STARS) team provides in-person on-site and walk-up help for students, including fixing problems from virus/malware infections, hardware problems, and configuration issues.
