RECOGNIZE, PROTECT, REACT to Information Security
Information security is a joint task of all employees, students and members of the University of Münster. See-Protect-React represents a three-step process of competencies designed to make information security more accessible in your daily work.
The See section provides information on potential threats, attackers' approaches, and the value of your information.
The Protect section provides you with concrete action instructions, step-by-step guides, and useful tips for implementing a secure way of working in your everyday workplace.
In the React section, you will find clues on how to recognize a security-critical incident, what to do in such a case, and who to contact immediately.

An increased number of phishing emails are currently being sent to many members of the University of Münster.
The emails have the subject "AW: IT-Servicedesk" and have been sent from different external accounts.
