Security Awareness

Most breaches and compromises of sensitive data can be prevented by security awareness and good security habits.  All UMW employees are required to complete annual security awareness training.  Employees responsible for administering or supporting central UMW IT systems, or for authorizing access to sensitive data, will be required to attend additional security awareness training.  University employee security awareness training requirements are outlined in the Information Security Awareness Education Standard.

Training:

In addition to the online annual security awareness course found in the Knowledge Center, a useful set of Annual_Security_Awareness_Training_2011 are available for self-paced learning. We encourage you to utilize these slides for your own review of the security awareness training content — or to review information security basics with your student aides or others.
