"The fall training specifically includes two cybersecurity modules that focus on two-factor authentication push awareness and fatigue, and how to keep your accounts safe from compromise by cyber threats, both areas where we have seen attacks upon employees recently."

Beginning Thursday, Aug. 1, all faculty, staff, and students who are active employees as of July 1 will be required to complete the 2024 Fall Biannual Compliance Training by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Aug. 28.  The training will be available at https://b.gatech.edu/genius and will take approximately 80 minutes to complete.
