HIPAA Security Regulation

Protection Against Viruses and Malicious Software.

Your IT department has a system in place to protect against viruses and other threats. However you can help keep your network clean by following these rules:

  • Do not disable workstation anti-virus protection.
  • Never open suspicious email or email attachments.
  • Do not download or install unauthorized software such as games and utilities.
  • Don't visit websites unrelated to department business.
  • Close pop-up windows by clicking on "x", rather than "no".
  • Report problems promptly.
