It's hard to believe that we are approaching the close of another whirlwind fall semester at Texas Tech University. The IT Division has been collaborating with campus areas on a number of new initiatives. In this issue, we will highlight the Advanced Threat Protection for email, and the new Symantec software upgrade, as our latest additions to the TTU IT Security Program. We have been facilitating a discussion between Apple and Microsoft to address a known issue for iOS users, and have included information about the scope of the current impact that we hope Apple resolves soon. Finally, we provide a reminder to please work with the TTU Office of the CIO when planning large IT projects and purchases, so that we can expedite review during the purchasing process. Please also note that we should be included in large non-IT projects where you are needing eRaider Authentication, eCommerce, Banner integration, or other institutional information technology resources.
