As part of our ongoing cybersecurity awareness efforts, the Information Security Department will soon deploy a new Windows lockscreen to university-managed devices. The update will be applied automatically to university-managed Windows devices.
What to expect
- No action is required from you.
- The change affects only the Windows lock screen and does not impact your files, applications, or settings.
- You can still personalize your lockscreen at any time by selecting a different image in your Windows settings.
Why this change?
The lockscreen provides an additional opportunity to share timely cybersecurity guidance and best practices with the KAUST community, helping strengthen our collective security awareness and promote safer digital habits. Thank you for supporting our efforts to strengthen cybersecurity awareness across the KAUST community.
