Information Technology update
During the fall 2017 semester, Information Technology ran a security awareness training program with Knowbe4. The training had a completion rate of 60 percent.
New training sessions began last week, and IT is aiming for a 90-percent completion rate. Email reminders are being sent.
The training consists of six modules:
Cybercrime is getting more serious each month. Hackers are getting smarter about ways to trick people into clicking on fraudulent links or opening up malicious attachments in emails. Because of this, it is important that everyone gets comprehensive security awareness training.
An email invite for employees to take part in this training was sent from an address ending in KnowBe4.com. Also, employees should be on the lookout for simulated phishing tests in your inbox.
