Rider University launched “Rider University Cyber Security Month” starting March 2025, shifting from a rolling 12-month training schedule to a fixed, one-month, once a year approach. Cybersecurity training is a crucial requirement for all employees set by our insurance providers and GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) regulations to ensure compliance and protect our community from cyber threats.

Going forward, every year starting mid-February and early March, you will receive an email from SafeColleges.com with the subject line: "Rider University Required Training".

Your participation is vital in safeguarding our university from cyber threats. Please complete the training by the end of March to help Rider meet its compliance requirements and strengthen our collective cybersecurity defense.

We understand that these trainings provide generic guidelines. Please see the FAQ section below for clarification on how certain topics apply specifically to Rider’s environment. Additionally, HR will follow up throughout the month to support this initiative.
 

FAQ for Cybersecurity Training

  • For general browsing, checking and responding to emails, editing google files, checking or grading Canvas assignments etc. it is ok to use the public internet.  
  • We discourage using the public internet for accessing systems that have sensitive student, personnel and financial information (especially information protected under the FERPA, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI-DSS regulations/standards).

  • Notify the OIT Help Desk immediately by filling out the Report Spam/Spoof/Phishing Email support form.
  • OIT staff will assess the situation, and if an action is warranted, assist you by changing your passwords and re-enrolling you in the MFA protection. 
  • If you cannot be reached, OIT may disable your account for safety reasons anyway and re-enable it once you make contact with OIT staff. 

  • File a police report if the incident takes place off campus. 
  • Notify OIT help desk by emailing [email protected].  
  • Notify Public Safety and file an incident report by visiting the Public Safety office or calling x7777.
     

  • There are certain sensitive applications and data that are designed to be accessible from on campus networks only. Banner administrative forms are an example of an application that is protected like that, and requires a Rider provided VPN to access from off campus. Thus, VPN access is granted to employees who have a business need to access such applications that require VPN. 

  • No. Only Rider-issued VPN can be installed on Rider-provided devices.  
     

  • No. Rider VPN can only be configured on devices owned and issued by Rider University.  
     

  • All software requests go through a cybersecurity check. 
  • If you are requesting academic software for a lab or for a large deployment (i.e. entire department), a request can be made by filling out the Software Request form. 
  • If you are requesting software for single user/personal use, a request can be made by filling out the Request for Software Security Review & Follow-Up Actions service request form. 
     

  • Every Rider computer is protected with enterprise grade antivirus software. Rider does not offer any antivirus software for non-Rider owned devices. However, it is recommended that you use reputable antivirus software on your personal computer. 
    • Free Antivirus: Avast, Avira, Microsoft Defender, Windows Security [Windows Security is included with Windows 10 and 11 Operating Systems] 
    • Paid Antivirus: Windows Defender (Requires a personal 365 subscription plan), McAfee 
       

  • Certain websites that are globally accepted as malicious may be blocked via the firewall policy list maintained by the manufacturer. Although very rare, if you come across such a website, you will see a notification on your screen explaining why your access is restricted or why you should proceed with extreme caution.
