Let’s build a safer LMU together. You matter. So does cybersecurity.
A friendly reminder from one Lion to another.

The LMU Lion Code of Conduct reminds us to Be a Lion. Be Respectful. Be Secure. This awareness challenge encourages our community to help each other build safer habits by reminding friends, classmates, coworkers, and colleagues to lock their screens, protect their information, and take their devices with them when they step away.

Many security incidents begin when a device is left unattended for just a few minutes. A friendly shark found the device before a thief or hacker did. By participating in the challenge, you can help create awareness and strengthen our shared responsibility for protecting the LMU community.

Challenge: If you spot an unattended device, leave a shark card or infographic and remind a fellow Lion to lock it, protect it, and take it with them. Small actions make a big difference.
