Assuming that you configured your computer according to ResNet's Purple Packet (connection instructions), your computer should automatically check for security updates daily when an Internet connection is available.

When a security issue is found in a popular operating system (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android), it usually receives major media attention. You will probably hear about it on your favorite local or national news outlets, including The Observer.

Depending on the severity of the security issue, an announcement to the campus community may be made by ResNet or the CIO with recommended steps to protect your devices.
