Welcome to the Chief Information Security Officer

KIT is making changes to the handling of forwarding emails to external email accounts. If you have set up forwarding of emails from your KIT mailbox to a Gmail address, this will be deactivated on April 1, 2024 and you have been informed of this in advance by email.

As before, you can access the contents of your mailbox directly via the usual e-mail protocols. To do this, you can integrate the e-mail address directly into the e-mail program of your choice. Every common email management program allows you to set up multiple email addresses. Instructions for using the mailbox with different operating systems and programs can be found here: https://www.scc.kit.edu/en/services/7386.php

To ensure effective information security awareness, KIT aims to use scientifically evaluated content. This requires people who voluntarily participate in the evaluations. For information about participation possibilities, the mailing list "secawareness∂lists kit edu" has been created, which you can subscribe to here if you are interested:
