• To encrypt your machine's hard drive as a Mac user, please see these instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204837
• To encrypt your machine's hard drive as a Windows user, please see these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028713/windows-10-turn-on-device-encryption.
  • If your Windows machine does not have BitLocker, you must upgrade your OS and can do so by purchasing a Windows 10 Pro license here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-10-pro/df77x4d43rkt?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:overviewtab

• Please visit the following page to find our recommended antivirus programs. For Windows, we recommend Windows Defender. For macOS, we suggest you use Avast or Sophos--https://www.it.northwestern.edu/service-catalog/security/secure-computing/antivirus.html

Once you have full disk encryption and antivirus software, you can then install our IBM BigFix client, which will then install the BIG-IP Edge Client. The installation files can be found here: http://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/it/big-fix/download.html

With the BIG-IP Edge Client configured, installed, and fully connected (you'll need to sign in with your NetID and password and your computer will need to pass the checks for the requirements above), you can then configure your email account on Outlook using these instructions
