Deadline: Information Security Awareness Training Required by April 30

All-employee security awareness trainingEvery day, cyber hackers design more sophisticated phishing schemes with the hope of gaining access to University systems, employee’s personal data, and resources. Ensuring that the entire UA community is properly trained to spot such attacks and ensure that the information we hold stays secure continues to be a high priority for University of Arizona.

All UA employees, faculty, student workers, and Designated Campus Colleagues (DCCs) with UA NetIDs are required to complete online Information Security Awareness training by April 30, 2019.
