Georgia Tech considers the security and privacy of employee and student information to be of utmost importance. To keep our information safe, the Institute requires that all GT students, faculty, and staff use two-factor authentication when accessing campus services and systems. This new standard will strengthen the protection of employee and student data and will maintain compliance with University System Information Security policy.
