Mobile devices such as smartphones have become one of the primary tools people use to communicate and interact with the Internet. You can instantly talk to or message anyone else around the world while carrying the power of a computer in your pocket.

However, with all these capabilities come many risks to your personal information – as well as university information – if you use your mobile devices to access university information (which also includes your CU email).

Please read the April 2012 Office of Information Security Cyber Security newsletter to understand how to secure your mobile devices.
