Additionally, social media managers at UNT have been asked to discontinue use of TikTok accounts immediately.  Read Governor Abbott's order here for more information

UNT Anti-Virus Software

Starting in December, the UNT System is transitioning from McAfee anti-virus software to a new next-generation endpoint protection software called Crowdstrike Falcon. Your IT Support will manage this change for your work devices.

As part of this transition, the UNT System will no longer offer free licensed anti-virus software for personal devices. For personal devices, native anti-virus software such as Windows Defender or macOS XProtect are already included with newer operating systems.
