Working remote?

OSU Center for Health Sciences I.T. has tools to offer eligible staff and faculty for working remotely and staying productive, but it is important to keep the following in mind to ensure any work done outside the CHS network remains secure.

 

Even when working remotely, consider OSU's Appropriate Use policy as well as state and federal laws like FERPA and HIPAA.


Security best practices

When working outside the network it is critical to ensure whether you are using an OSU device or a personal device that any data you are handling is saved on to our secure network group shared drive or via OneDrive/SharePoint through Office 365.

 

OSU devices are deployed with malware and Antivirus software however, if you are using a personal device to connect to the OSU CHS network , we highly recommend you use an antivirus software.

 

Before you start working remotely

To ensure you are able to get to all resources needed please contact our I.T. Helpdesk before you start working remotely. Some processes require proper setup and assistance from I.T.

 

Please contact I.T at 918-561-1800 Option 2 or email at chs.helpdesk@okstate.edu
