Posted on by neilsin

Last Friday was the first offering of the live edition of “SecureIT @ Kansas State”, the K-State presentation created to fulfill the requirement that all State of Kansas employees be given cybersecurity training by June 30, 2011.

With 102 employees in attendance, the IT security team considers this first session a great success and will offer two more sessions in December.
