Annual Cybersecurity Awareness training begins April 1

The annual Cybersecurity Awareness Training will be delivered to your K-State email inbox on Monday, April 1. All faculty, staff and student employees must complete the online training by Tuesday, April 30.

The training will teach you to spot phishing scams, keep passwords safe, and practice cyber hygiene. This training is mandatory for all state agencies through the State of Kansas ITEC Policy 7230 – Information Technology Enterprise Security Policy.

The training must be completed by April 30. If you do not complete the training, the President’s Cabinet has authorized the suspension of your eID. Managers need to remind and work with their employees to allow time to complete the training.

For those who do not complete the training, their eID will be suspended and they will lose access to all University systems on May 21. Access will be restored once the training has been completed.

Once your training is complete, your personnel record in HRIS will be updated. It will be listed under the Training Summary as Cybersecurity Awareness, with the course code WIT590 and course session 2024.

If you have questions about the training, contact the IT Service at 800-865-6143 or 785-532-7722 or via Live Chat. For face-to-face service, visit the IT Service Desk on the second floor of Hale Library.
