Web Browser
We recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome as your web browser for the best experience while working and studying at the ADC.
AntiVirus
We recommend that antivirus software is installed on your chosen device/s. Devices that do not have updated AntiVirus software or similar protections are at risk of being compromised and may significantly affect your studies if they become inoperable. The ADC does not provide antivirus software for use on a personal device.
Please note: Australia Defence employees and contractors can request free antivirus for personal devices from CIOG here (DPN accessible only)
Personal Device Security Guide
Device security is important for safeguarding sensitive data and helping to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other threats. Securing devices connected to corporate networks can help mitigate risks posed by remote work, bring your own device (BYOD) policies, and IoT ecosystems.
