Description

Press release from the University of Alaska Anchorage: September 3, 2021 In early June, UAA IT Services began to roll out a security enhancement called Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to better protect users and sensitive UAA information from malicious cyber-attacks. Over the past few months, we have seen a significant increase in the number of attempts to access and steal university information by stealing usernames and passwords and gaining access to employee accounts. Enabling MFA on your account is one very important way to protect you and the university from these attacks. MFA, using a tool called Duo, will be rolled out to all University of Alaska employees over the next few months. We invite you at your convenience to enroll in MFA using the information provided below. Enroll Now We'll be sending an email out with additional information about MFA and enrollment timeline. UAA IT Services is available for assistance. If you have questions or concerns, please contact IT Services Technical Support Center at 907-786-4646 or [email protected].  This press release was produced by the University of Alaska Anchorage.
