As part of K-State’s continued commitment to safeguarding the university’s information and technology resources, the Division of Information Technology (IT) is pleased to announce that the 2025 Cybersecurity Training course will be released on Feb. 1, 2025. Details about the completion timeframe for this new training will be announced in January. We encourage all faculty, staff and student employees to watch for the announcement and be prepared to complete the updated course once it becomes available.
Transition period and temporary changes
To ease the burden during the winter break and to reduce disruptions in account access, the disabling of accounts due to incomplete 2024 Cybersecurity Training will be suspended as of Dec. 20, 2024. This temporary pause will ensure that individuals do not lose access to essential systems and resources over the winter break. IT will announce when normal account disablement procedures for non-compliance will resume.
Availability of 2024 Cybersecurity Training
The 2024 training modules will remain available for anyone who wants to review or complete them. Although it will no longer be required for compliance purposes once the 2025 course launches, the 2024 materials can provide valuable foundational knowledge and help users stay updated on cybersecurity best practices.
Next steps
As the release of the 2025 training approaches, watch for additional communication outlining key course updates, completion deadlines and steps to ensure you meet all required criteria. IT staff are actively working on finalizing the new curriculum and will provide guidance and support throughout the transition period.
