Intro to training

To help reduce the risk of compromise and/or the unauthorized access to sensitive University data, the Office of Information Security provides Information Security Essentials Online Training. This training is offered through Workday and consists of three short, high-quality videos targeted to raise awareness about three important security themes:

  • Computer Compromises
  • Passwords & Phishing
  • Lost or Stolen Data & Devices

Each module takes approximately three to four minutes to complete. You can complete the three training modules at one time in about 10 minutes or you can space out the training over a time period that is more convenient to you.
