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 on-line password-changing program that is available to change their RCS password from time to time for the sake of both personal and system security.
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.
