Antivirus protection Defender ATP

We use Microsoft Defender ATP as virus protection on USN computers. The program detects and stops computer attacks. This antivirus program uses artificial intelligence to prevent and stop threats while ignoring false warnings.

Microsoft has several products nicknamed Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).Microsoft Defender ATP protects your organization from sophisticated threats - such as phishing, dangerous attachments, and zero-day threats from malicious software - and automatically investigates and corrects attacks. It detects network attacks and computer breaches and gives you the insights and tools you need to end events quickly.

Personal data

In conjuction with automatic security checks, a number of personal data about the users are collected. Only a small group of IT employees with security responsibilities have access, and they follow clear routines that are in line with the GDPR rules.

The information is only used in security incidents, and no one other than the security group has access. Only information related to security is of interest. Access will be notified to the person concerned.

More vulnerable in the summer

The risk of computer attacks can be higher in the summer, because we do not follow our usual routines. It is also known that some have tried to exploit the corona period with a lot of home office for computer crime. USN has been subjected to such attempts.

Be aware

Good computer security depends on two things: up-to-date software and observant users. Even the best programs fail to detect everything. As a computer user, you must be aware that you may be exposed to attempted fraud or computer attacks, and have some knowledge of how such attempts usually take place. Then you can prevent the attack from having consequences.

Program is blocked

If you have a program that has been blocked (recognized by a message in the bottom right corner of the screen), you must notify it-support@usn.no, the name of the program and which folder it is in helps us to make exceptions quickly and your program will work again.

This is the most important points to keep in mind:

  • Think before you click on links and attachments in emails - is the email from the person you think it is from? Does the link lead you to the page it says it should?
  • Never give your username and password to anyone (not even IT staff)
  • Tell IT quickly by e-mail or telephone (31 00 82 00) if you are in doubt whether you have clicked on something you should not - it is human to make a mistake.
