OUHSC requires all portable computing devices that access campus resources to have a device password and some basic security settings enabled. This includes all smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. that access OUHSC email and the HSC wireless networks. If you're going to use email with Protected Health Information (PHI) you'll need to use a device that meets government approved encryption for data at rest. If you set up your device to access HSC email, these security settings will be pushed to your device.
