Four themes, one useful habit at a time
These are general reminders, not substitutes for Northstar's confirmed security procedures.
Use a unique work password, keep it private, and approve an MFA prompt only when you initiated the sign-in.
- Never share a password or one-time authentication code.
- Report an unexpected MFA prompt through Northstar's confirmed security route.
Treat unexpected links, attachments, and urgent requests as reasons to pause and verify.
- Do not open a suspicious attachment or follow its link.
- Use the approved message-reporting process once Northstar confirms it.
Lock a work device when you step away and install updates only through approved channels.
- Keep work screens and devices from being casually viewed or used by others.
- Report a lost or damaged work device through the confirmed route promptly.
Share work information only with people who need it, using approved storage and sharing tools.
- Check recipients and attachment contents before sending.
- Use Policy Hub for Northstar's authoritative data-handling guidance.
Assigned learning is in Training
Open the Training app to check whether cybersecurity learning has been assigned to you.
- Look for assigned cybersecurity courses in Training.
- Follow the course instructions and complete any required learning by its stated due date.
- If an assignment is missing or inaccessible, use your organization's established support route.
Training is for learning. Use Northstar's confirmed security reporting process for suspicious messages or security incidents.
