what are three ways to protect information on your computer screen? check all that apply:
select all that apply
□ turn the computer screen away from public view
□ if the computer is shared, log out of any applications such as epic or email before you walk away
□ if the computer is not shared, log off or lock the computer before you walk away
□ use the on/off switch on the monitor to turn off the monitor before you walk away

Explanation:

• Turning the computer screen away from public view prevents others from seeing the information on the screen.
• If the computer is shared, logging out of applications like EPIC or email ensures that the next user can't access your private information.
• If the computer is not shared, logging off or locking the computer secures the information from unauthorized access when you're away.
• Using the on/off switch to turn off the monitor only turns off the display, not securing the information (e.g., someone could still access the computer if it's not locked/logged off). So this is not a way to protect information on the screen.

Answer:

A. Turn the computer screen away from public view
B. If the computer is shared, log out of any applications such as EPIC or email before you walk away
C. If the computer is not shared, log off or lock the computer before you walk away
