Strengthening Our Cybersecurity Together: Your Role in Protecting ECSU

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,


I hope this message finds you well. As the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Elizabeth City State University, I want to emphasize a crucial aspect of our cybersecurity strategy: the role each of you plays in safeguarding our digital environment.


In the realm of cybersecurity, users—like you—are our most valuable line of defense. While technology and protocols are vital, the awareness and actions of our community members often make the difference in preventing security breaches. Simple actions, such as recognizing phishing attempts, using strong passwords, and understanding safe online practices, can significantly enhance our collective security.


To support you in this endeavor, we have created a dedicated Cybersecurity Awareness webpage. This resource is designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to protect yourself and, by extension, our university's network and data. The webpage includes practical tips, educational materials, and the latest updates on potential threats.


I encourage everyone to regularly visit the Cybersecurity Awareness page and take advantage of the resources available. By staying informed and vigilant, we can all contribute to a safer and more secure campus environment.


Your participation is essential in our ongoing efforts to fortify ECSU’s cybersecurity. Together, we can create a strong defense against cyber threats and ensure the safety of our digital community.


Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your continued commitment to our collective security.


Best regards,


Lucien Frederic
Deputy Chief Information Officer/Chief Information Security Officer
