Whether you are a student employee, faculty or staff member, or even a retiree, Data Security Training provides you with invaluable tips to protect your personal and sensitive data — such as Social Security, banking and credit card numbers, mobile pay, and social media accounts — against cyber threats.

When you protect yourself, you help to protect the entire Wolfpack! 

All active employees are required to complete the 30-minute training by Jan. 27; the training covers cybersecurity awareness topics such as social engineering, data classification and mobile device security. 

As of Jan. 10, approximately 37% of 25,143 university employees have completed the Data Security Training module. Employees who have not completed the training will receive an email reminder one week and then one day prior to the training deadline.
