A new text-only version of K-State’s online IT security training is now available to allow people to move through the material at their own pace. Relevant information from the audio version that is not already displayed has been added to the text-only slides to make sure all the content is covered. While both versions contain the same general information, the version with audio contains more in-depth discussions of each topic and may be more useful for less technical users.
Take the mandatory training online at secureit.k-state.edu/secureit
(eID/password sign-in is required).
Thus far, more than 1,250 K-State employees have completed the online version of the training, with 767 attending the live, face-to-face version.
The training will also be made available to students at a later date. The need for the training is evident, given the fact that 445 K-Staters gave their eID passwords away to criminals in 2010 in response to phishing scam e-mails. The Office of Information Security and Compliance anticipates a much lower number of compromised eIDs in 2011 because of this training!
Face-to-face training in March
As before, those who prefer face-to-face training can attend sessions available each month until the June 30 deadline. The next two sessions are scheduled 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday, March 10, in Union 212. Register to attend one of those sessions through the HRIS website (select Employee Self Service, then Learning and Development, then KSU Training Enrollment, and look for Secure IT).
