Protecting you online

To help protect you online, the University has introduced a new service that will redirect any potentially harmful websites to a warning page.

If a web page pops up (displaying the below message), it is because you have tried to access a website that is considered to have malicious content. This can happen by any means of web access within the University network.

DNS_Redirect_Message

The University has introduced this new process to ensure your own devices and University networks are protected, and you don’t become a victim of a phishing scam or other forms of attack.

As the message points out, no websites are blocked based upon a moral or political standpoint. However if you have any concerns or need to know more information about the service, please email us at [email protected].

To get more advice and information on how to recognise phishing scams in emails, please visit the iSolutions webpageswhere you can take their interactive phishing quiz.
