Account Support Requests
As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, additional identity verification steps
have been implemented to confirm the authenticity of account access requests and protect
ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ accounts from social engineering attacks. These changes included
the following…
-
Requests for a password reset or a DUO mobile bypass code now require a valid photo
ID for identity verification purposes.
-
The now requires Duo multifactor authentication as an additional layer of account security.
-
Account servicing personnel received additional training and tools to help better
evaluate incoming requests for their authenticity.
-
Internal processes and controls were implemented to assess the authenticity of access
requests that don’t meet minimum identity verification requirements.
-
Duo multifactor authentication is subject to risk-based authentication.
-
Account authentication activity is monitored to proactively address unusual behavior
and cyber-threats.
Our primary goal is to protect your account and your information from attackers, so
while these additional security measures may seem inconvenient, we feel that these
changes are the most effective steps to ensure that we are verifying request authenticity.
In addition to these changes, Information technology staff continue to monitor new
and emerging cybersecurity threats as part of an ongoing internal training process
for our account servicing team so that we can be one step ahead of the next threat.
If you have any questions about account servicing processes, security practices, or
any other general questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our contact
information and hours of operation can be found here: https://stockton.edu/information-technology/request-help.html.
