September Training Spotlight: Cybersecurity

As part of the phased, enterprise-wide Security Awareness effort launched in 2023, UA HR Talent Acquisition & Development team is supporting UA Office of Information Technology's effort in reaching out to make all faculty and staff aware of the annual, mandatory requirement for Security Awareness Training.

The need for this training is driven not only by the increasing frequency, creativity and severity of phishing attacks targeting UA stakeholders, but also by regulatory compliance obligations that mandate Security Awareness Training be performed regularly. The deadline for this training is Oct. 31, 2024.

Additionally, UA HR Talent Acquisition & Development team has curated the Cybersecurity Awareness & Practices Learning Collection (not required training) where you can learn more about fundamental concepts such as understanding threats, vulnerabilities, risk management, and threat detection. Dive further by exploring topics like AI, best practices, and innovative solutions in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.
