The Information Security and Quality Unit in Arab American University organized an awareness course entitled: “Information Security and Managing Electronic Accounts” in the Faculty of Administrative and Financial Sciences for the Management information System students.

The course contained a presentation about the main goals of the Information Security and Quality Unit and the role it does to protect the data and services in the university.

Eng. Mohammad Owaidat talked about some of the awareness concepts of information security, the hacking problems and account protection possibilities and ways, and warned students that they need to protect their passwords and the ways to develop protected accounts in order to keep them away from being hacked. 

Eng. Owaidat also explained to the students the procedures and policies of AAUP that are related to account protection, electronic services and the passwords.

At the end of the course, students were encouraged to protect their accounts using “two-step verification” and that this way will be implemented gradually in Arab American University.
