Keeping University Devices Secure and Up to Date

To better protect university data and improve your experience, all university-owned devices are being brought under a standardized device management system. This update ensures that your device receives important security protections, automatic updates, and easier access to approved software — while keeping sign-in simple and familiar. The applied settings align with university policy on systems that handle public and internal use only data. The goal is to make your work smoother, safer, and more reliable, with minimal disruption to your day-to-day routine.

MyApps

MyApps, CWRU's virtual desktop environment, recently updated the platform that drives the service. While the MyApps interface will look very similar, the client on your computer and the storage location will change. This will not affect how you access MyApps via the web portal. It’s important to take steps now to ensure continued access. This transition is a significant step toward enhancing the performance and accessibility of university resources for everyone.


Artificial Intelligence

AI is a very dynamic and powerful tool. CWRU is constantly updating the platforms and agents available to our community. Our most recently updates are:

  • New feature added to Google Gemini - users can now user Gemini to query their Gmail, Calendar, Drive and other apps to assist with getting the best possible answer.
  • New agents added to CWRU AI - two new agents were added to the growing list of those available. Users can choose between GPT 4.1 model with and without Internet. Internet searches enhance the AI’s responses through the use of Microsoft Bing. Due to this, your data is sent to a third party in order to conduct the search.
