Cybersecurity Awareness Spring Training
Deadline: April 30, 2022
It is time for Cybersecurity Awareness Spring Training! Information Security will
initiate the USG mandated Spring Cybersecurity Awareness training. The training is
required for Columbus State University faculty, staff and all users that access information
or information systems.
Training will begin April 1, 2022, and must be completed by April 30, 2022. The training is designed to provide all personnel ways to prepare and protect oneself and CSU, from malicious cyber activity.
The training is mandated by the Board of Regents, from the Handbook: 5.9.2 Security Awareness, Training and Education Requirements. USG organizations cannot protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information systems without ensuring that each person involved understands their roles and responsibilities and is adequately trained to perform them. Learning Objectives USG organizations shall provide cybersecurity awareness training to users that access information or information systems.
Awareness training shall be conducted, attendance shall be mandatory, completion shall be documented and shall provide practical and simple guidance pertaining to user roles and responsibilities. The governor feels based on the data that we handle on a daily basis, that we educate our campus to be more diligent.
