Subject: 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Employee Cybersecurity Training

Every day we see another institution or company in the news having sustained ransomware or cybersecurity attacks, losing access to their systems or their customers’ data in the process. As 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ continues to build its cybersecurity protocols and avoid becoming the focus of such a story, we would like to equip you with the knowledge to protect yourself and our employee/student data.

Next week, all 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ employees will receive an email from system@litmos.com with a link to complete FY23’s cybersecurity training. The training takes approximately 20 minutes and covers common techniques attackers have used against 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ. The training is required for 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ’s cybersecurity insurance and will equip 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ employees with necessary knowledge to identify and report threats.

In addition, some areas are required to take the annual Identity Protection Act (IPA) training; that training has been combined with this cybersecurity training. You can determine if you are required to take the IPA training by visiting: /ipa/Stated_Purpose.php
