IT Spotlight:

SSN Computer Scan
The Information Technology Department has provided instructions on how to run the Social Security File Scanner program to scan your computer for possible Social Security Numbers. This program will generate a list of files that may contain Social Security Numbers. For security reasons, it is recommended that these numbers be removed from your computer. Please click on the SSN Computer Scan link on the left side of this page to view these instructions and to find out more information about the program.
 
VPN Required
In order to provide greater security for the systems and applications provided by the Information Technology Department, access to the mainframe from home or from other off-campus locations will require the use of the OSU VPN client beginning May 15, 2008. The OSU VPN is available at the Software Distribution Center, http://www.it.okstate.edu/sdc.
