Security Software
Anti-Virus Software
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to use up-to-date anti-virus software on personal computing devices. Anti-virus software is required on any device that connects to campus network resources. Anti-virus software protects devices from malicious software code intending to harm your system or steal private information.
If you have a CSUN owned device, please contact the local technical support contact for your area.
These recommendations can be installed on personal home devices:
- Windows: Microsoft Security Essentials and/or Malwarebytes page.
- Macintosh: Sophos and/or Malwarebytes for Mac

- Windows 10 - Enable Firewall
- Windows 8 - Enable Firewall
- Windows 7 - Enable Firewall
- Macintosh OSX 5 and later - Enable Firewall
