Network Security Application

February 24, 2026

TO:             UMMC Faculty, Staff and Students

FROM:        Kevin Yearick, Chief Information Officer

SUBJECT:   Network Security Application


The response to the recent cyberattack is ongoing. So that Division of Information Systems teams can push a related security application to all UMMC computers, it is essential that they be turned on and connected to the UMMC network using an ethernet cable or wirelessly. 

Please leave your computer on and connected, including overnight. 

Also, over the next several days, Medical Center account holders, including employees, students and contractors, will be required to change their network password. When it is your turn, you will be prompted to do this when trying to log in.
