	  In view of the rise of cyberattacks, the University is planning to implement 2-factor authentication (2FA) among all staff and students phase by phase. Protections are on applications including CUHK / SSL VPN, Office 365 Services (CUHK Mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc) and more.   There are two rollout schedules proposed while more student, college, department & faculty representatives* opt for “Tentative Schedule 1” during ITSC consultation with them.  
| Users  | Tentative Schedule 1  | Tentative Schedule 2  |  
| Students  | Oct 2020  | Feb 2021  |  
| Staff  | Mar 2021  | Jul 2021  |    *ITSC consultation with student, college, department & faculty representatives are via ITSC Student User Consultation Committee Meeting, IT Coordinator Group Meeting and College Liaison Meeting in May 2020.
