Posted at 8:58AM
It has been about three months since Saskatchewan Polytechnic experienced a cybersecurity incident. Today we are providing an overview of our remediation efforts to date.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic has made excellent progress securely resuming services using a cautious and phased-in approach. Our top priority has always been our students and their learning experience. Online learning platforms were prioritized and restored as quickly as possible. Progress is being made every day. The majority of online services and systems are now available to students and employees.
The cybersecurity incident was started by a malicious email file attachment. Saskatchewan Polytechnic will not be providing additional information. The institution has increased online security for students and employees. This includes multi-factor authentication for online services, additional information about how to spot malicious emails, and new antivirus software for employee computers.
Updates for students have regularly been shared on social media and campusupdate.ca. Approximately 100 email updates have been shared with employees since the incident occurred.
Thank you for students, employees and stakeholders for supporting Sask Polytech as we work on restoring services impacted by the cybersecurity incident October 30, 2020. We are grateful for your patience and continued support.
