Digital Citizenship Education

Students interact with music, movies, software, and other digital content every day. Do they understand the rules that dictate the ethical use of these digital files, and do they understand why these issues are relevant?

The Digital Citizenship and Creative Content program is a free, turnkey instructional program. The goal is to create an awareness of the rights connected with creative content. Because only through education can students gain an understanding of the relevance of and a personal respect for creative rights and grow to become good digital citizens.

10 Most Dangerous Things Users Do Online

End users — god bless ‘em. You can’t live with ‘em — but without them, you wouldn’t have a job. They’re the reason you have an IT infrastructure; they’re also the single greatest threat to the security of that infrastructure.

Because, in the end, most users have no idea how dangerous their online behavior is.

1. Clicking on email attachments from unknown senders
The problem isn’t that users don’t know the risks — it’s that they can’t help themselves
21 more annotations...
- 2. Installing unauthorized applications
- If your organization can't live without instant messaging, you can require IM sessions to be encrypted, he says.
- 3. Turning off or disabling automated security tools
- Most enterprise firewalls and antivirus applications now contain configuration options that enable IT to eliminate the "turn it off" option from the user’s desktop, McGraw observes. In many cases, it may be better to force the user to accept a patch or a slow ISP connection — and deal with the complaints — than to leave the company’s systems open to remote attack, experts say.
- 4. Opening HTML or plain-text messages from unknown senders
- Many experts now believe that HTML mail poses a threat that may eventually be as serious as the traditional email attachment. HTML text — and increasingly, images — can be infected with spyware, and in some cases, executable code.
- 5. Surfing gambling, porn, or other legally-risky sites
- Most companies today have established that such content, even when technically legal for consumers, could create a hostile working environment for employees, subjecting the company to legal or punitive action. Any human resources department will tell you that these pursuits are a major no-no, and most IT professionals will tell you that they have deployed some sort of content filter to restrict access to objectionable content.
- Online gambling and pornographic sites also are "becoming a frequent source of infection via drive-by downloads and zero-day exploits,"
- 6. Giving out passwords, tokens, or smart cards
- Despite years of IT warnings to the contrary, about one in three people still write down their computer passwords somewhere near the machine, either on a piece of paper or in a text file on a PC or mobile device, the researchers said.
- The researchers at Nucleus Research and KnowledgeStorm suggested that enterprises should look to increasingly improving authentication technologies, such as single sign-on and biometrics, as potential answers to the age-old problem of password management.
- 7. Random surfing of unknown, untrusted Websites
- So if you're going to restrict Web access, how do you determine what sites you can trust or not? "If you're really paranoid, surf with active content disabled, use Opera or Firefox, and run your browser with very little permission," says Cigital's McGraw.
- 8. Attaching to an unknown, untrustworthy WiFi network
- It's tempting for a user on the road to jump on the closest WiFi connection they pick up while waiting at the airport or some other public place. "There is no way of ensuring that the networks they connect to aren't run by a malicious attacker," says Matasano Security's Goldsmith. "While the unsuspecting user surfs the Web, an attacker could be using a man-in-the-middle attack to monitor their traffic — or even worse, use a client side attack toolkit to compromise their machine."
- 9. Filling out Web scripts, forms, or registration pages
- But the bottom line is that consumers are more likely to enter sensitive data into Web scripts or registration pages than enterprise users, says the Enderle Group's Enderle. "Employees seldom have the opportunity to do this," he says. "Of course, we probably
- 10. Participating in chat rooms or social networking sites
- If an enterprise allows access to social networking sites, it must ensure that users are wary of who they're communicating with and what type of sensitive information they may be exposing. The bad news is you may not know until it's too late.
- "You should assume that anything you post to a social networking site is public," says Matasano's Ptacek.
