Information services provides online cybersecurity awareness training for all current staff and faculty. Faculty and staff who completed the training last year do not need to complete the training again. Check your completion status in Moodle under the “Badges” menu and look for the issuance of the “Cyber Security Training 2020” badge.
In this course you will be introduced to the social engineering methods that attackers use to fool you into providing unauthorized access. By taking a few simple steps and avoiding certain actions you can help prevent cyber-attacks and data theft. In addition, users are provided instructions on multi-factor authentication registration.
The course, “Cyber Security Core 2020”, is accessible from the ‘Course Overview’ in Moodle (https://learning.up.edu). Current staff and faculty have been auto enrolled. Users will need to sort the overview to either “All” or “In Progress” in order to locate the course.
We also invite users to view a brief presentation that seeks to answer the question ‘Why is annual cybersecurity training required?’ The answers may surprise you!
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this training, please contact the Technology Help Desk (x7000, help@up.edu).
