The Division of Information Technology (IT) offers annual cybersecurity awareness training to promote a strong cybersecurity culture at K-State. The training has typically been offered in October. IT has decided to move this training to the beginning of the calendar year. It will now be offered beginning on February 1 and must be completed by March 31. Details on how to access the training will be published in K-State Today closer to the launch date.
The training helps you protect sensitive information, secure yourself online, and learn how to identify security events and report them to K-State’s security team. This training is mandatory for all state agencies through the State of Kansas ITEC Policy 7230 – Information Technology Enterprise Security Policy section 8.0 Awareness and Training Standard.
All faculty, staff, and student employees must complete this training by March 31, 2023. All new employees are required to complete this training within 90 days of their position’s start date.
The President’s Cabinet has authorized the suspension of eIDs that fail to complete the required training after the due date. If your eID is suspended, you will lose access to all University systems until the training is completed. If not completed, you will lose access to your account on April 14.
Thank you for doing your part.
