Information services provides online cybersecurity awareness training for current staff and faculty. This year’s course includes 10 core topics. A new feature allows users to take a pre-test and test out of course modules based on their results. In addition, users are provided instructions on multi-factor authentication registration. 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.
The course, “Cyber Security Core 2020″, is accessible from the ‘Custom Course Menu’ in Moodle (https://learning.up.edu). Current staff and faculty have been auto-enrolled. 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).
