Introduction
Annual cybersecurity awareness training is an effective way to help our university community identify and prevent the loss of sensitive data and protect campus data resources. Security awareness training gives employees the information they need to identify the greatest cybersecurity threats faced by universities and colleges, including phishing emails that are designed to trick you into revealing sensitive university or personal data.
Cybersecurity training for campus users is a requirement by compliance auditors and even our insurance provider.
