Anti-Spam Services (RESPITE)
The Rensselaer Enterprise Spam Interdiction TEchnology, or REPSITE, server scans all email addressed to @rpi.edu and @lists.rpi.edu to detect possible spam and viruses.
Security
Services include spam protection (Respite), multi-factor authentication (Duo), and network security.
Crowdstrike Falcon
Rensselaer requires CrowdStrike Falcon, a next-generation antivirus product, to be used on all Institute-owned devices.
Firewall Management
DotCIO's Information Technologies Infrastructure (ITI) department implements perimeter campus firewalls which improves overall performance of off-net connectivity and provides further protection against Internet worms and viruses.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Many RPI systems require multi-factor authentication, or MFA. Duo is the campus' current MFA provider.
Password Management
All members of the campus community should use the Microsoft password change tool available from myaccount.microsoft.com to change their RCS password from time to time, for the sake of both personal and system security. For additional assistance follow the ITSSC article linked below.
Single Sign-On (SSO) Authentication
Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities allow individuals to authenticate to — and access protected online resources from — a wide range of Rensselaer-affiliated services and websites.
