Identity Finder

We're introducing Identity Finder to the university community. This easy-to-use program will allow us to secure all the files on our computers, that may contain personal or university data that needs to be protected. These files may include social security numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, and more, that we may not even know still exist on our computers.

For a comprehensive look at Identity Finder or a Quick Guide in PDF form, click here.

Training is available through IT Services. Call the Technology Support Center for more information at ext. 4357.
