When managing files, all members of the WSU community must understand the relationship between data sensitivity and file storage. The WSU Data Sensitivity Continuum describes where data can be stored based on its level of sensitivity. At WSU, multiple file storage solutions are available to help you organize, save, and share your work.

Ensuring data security is a critical responsibility for all faculty and staff, as we regularly handle sensitive information about students, colleagues, and institutional operations. As higher education becomes increasingly digital, it is essential that we follow best practices for protecting passwords, using secure networks, and storing data appropriately.

ThreatDown Endpoint Agent, formerly know as Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection, is an anti-malware and internet security software suite that is provided to all Winona State computers.
