Always keep the following tips in mind:

It is best to keep research and office areas secured at all times.
If you work in or around a research area, wear identification and be prepared to present it. If you see people in your research area not displaying an ID card, ask them if they need assistance.
Non-staff people in a research area should be escorted by a staff member at all times.
You know your work areas the best. Do not handle suspicious or unknown packages.
Watch your area for strangers and unusual activity. If you see someone unknown to you in a research area, ask him or her if you can help.
Be particularly aware of vehicles that have been left unattended near university buildings.
Watch for doors or windows that have been propped open or marked with graffiti..
Back-up valuable computer data and store it off site.
Change the password on sensitive databases, using a combination of symbols and upper and lower case letters.
Be cautious of unusual e-mail messages and do not open unfamiliar attachments.
Monitor your website for potential defacement.
