BitLocker Disk Encryption

BitLocker is Microsoft's disk encryption tool that is designed to safely protect all the data stored on a hard drive. When the entire hard disk is encrypted, everything on that disk is protected if the computer is lost or stolen.

CSU Chico provides BitLocker file encryption for managed university computers. Contact your desktop IT staff or IT Support Services (ITSS) to enable this important service.

Identity Finder

Identity Finder is a program that locates Protected Level 1 data in files such as Word, Excel, PDF, or email messages. In addition to locating Protected Level 1 data, Identity Finder can perform actions on locations that contain Protected Level 1 data. Such actions include the ability to delete (Shred), redact (Quarantine), and archive your results in order to protect yourself (or others) from identity theft.

Application Catalog

The Application Catalog is the user’s gateway to the available applications that they can install. Users can install or request applications by using the web-based Application Catalog.

2-Step Verification (Duo)

2-Step Verification with Duo adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using a second factor (like your phone or other mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password.
