ASB 2025 groups will focus on:<br><br><ul>
          <li>Health and Patient Care Equity (co-led by Vunnathi Ankem and Natalia Cooper)</li>
          <li>Environmental Justice and Sustainability (co-led by Bianca Canales and Tanzila Malik)</li>
          <li>Reforming Juvenile Justice (co-led by Aanayah Trotman and Nyssa Vilchis)</li>

  <Title>Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)</Title>
  <Tagline>Use Duo MFA for myUMBC!</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><h3><span>What is multi-factor authentication?</span></h3>
    <p><span>Multi-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using an additional factor (like your phone or other mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password.</span></p>
    <p><span>This additional factor of authentication is separate and independent from your username and password — Duo never sees your password.</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <h4><span>How It Works</span></h4>
    <p><span><span><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdIbopXJoeGiZ06rsHhOMcFZxWZJE71ULmqP77ZsZRsE8i43GO66Vg3TjC-HzDthw3SnbWYKdxMTKmQ_iSMSQ5Cj1_rda1nRhvqrHB4tgThoXUHKBh7Y7bHKbYms0x4kCtQ61Ufwex_V_RkIhRzMTN1xvg?key=ciB3wloKbf3CHOE_YTEWCg" width="624" height="163" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></span></span></p>
    <ol>
    <li><p><span>Enter username and password as usual</span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Use your phone to verify your identity</span></p></li>
    <li><p><span>Securely log in</span></p></li>
    </ol>
    <p><br></p>
    <h4><span>Why do I need this?</span></h4>
    <p><span>Passwords are surprisingly easy to compromise. They can often be stolen, guessed, or hacked — you might not even know someone is accessing your account. Multi-factor authentication helps keep your account secure even if your password is compromised. With Duo Push, you'll be alerted immediately (on your phone) if someone is trying to log in as you.</span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <h4><span>What services are supported by Duo?</span></h4>
    <p><span>Duo has apps for iOS and Android. Duo also allows you to authenticate using SMS passcodes sent to your cell phone, hardware tokens, or via a phone call (faculty/staff only). Duo is checked whenever you authenticate using WebAuth or myUMBC. This also applies to systems such as PeopleSoft and services such as </span><a href="https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/faq/Box" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Box</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/faq/Microsoft+Office+365" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Microsoft Office</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30741112" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>VPN</span></a><span>, and </span><a href="https://umbc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/faq/Google+Drive" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Google Apps (Drive)</span></a><span>.  Those who are identified as having access to sensitive data are administratively enrolled in Duo.</span></p>
    <br><h4><span>What should you do if you receive a Duo push notification that you didn’t initiate?</span></h4>
    <p><span>If you receive a Duo push notification that you didn’t initiate, DO NOT APPROVE IT! Instead, mark it as fraudulent and change your password on a trusted machine. </span></p>

          <div><br></div>
          <div>What is Sukkot? It's a 7-day Jewish festival celebrating the harvest, as well as marking the period when the Israelites wandered in the desert without a permanent home.  For the week of the holiday, Jewish communities enjoy meals inside of a sukkah, which is a temporary booth we make and decorate.  It is traditional to welcome <em>ushpizin</em>, or guests to our celebrations, and Hillel is so excited to host Retriever Essentials for this special collaboration.  </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Retriever Essentials and UMBC Hillel will be distributing free local produce outside our sukkah, and when you enter, you'll have an opportunity to learn about some of the rituals involved in the holiday and contribute to a community art project.    </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Questions? Interested in volunteering?  Reach out to Lisa Huberman at <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/umbchillel/events/135255/5251c/73d93721f5f28a5acf5d90119f09c3e7/web/link?link=mailto%3Alhuberm1%40umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">lhuberm1@umbc.edu</a>
