Antivirus Protection

Antivirus protection is essential to protect your computer from virus and malware infections. Fordham uses Crowdstrike Falcon on all Fordham-owned and managed devices for enhanced endpoint protection. 

For personal devices, we recommend the following free endpoint protection applications:

• Microsoft Defender, which already comes with Windows

• Mac OS X: Bitdefender Virus Scanner, AVG, Avast

Educate Yourself About Security Awareness
In addition to installing antivirus software, good cyber hygiene is key for protecting your devices from cyber attacks and viruses. Educate yourself by taking our free, self-paced online information security awareness training for employees, Information Security Awareness. To access the course, go to fordham.edu, select Log in to the Portal at the top, and authenticate with your Fordham credentials. Go to My Apps and select Proofpoint.
