Enhanced Security Awareness Training for 2025
February 05, 2025 Fred SmithIn the past, UMB required a single 30- to 45-minute training video annually. This year, we are transitioning to shorter, more focused training courses that will be conducted quarterly.
We are pleased to announce an exciting update to our security awareness training program for this year. In our ongoing efforts to enhance our University security and ensure that everyone is well-equipped to handle potential cyberthreats, we are introducing a new format for our training sessions.
In the past, we required a single 30- to 45-minute training video annually. This year, we are transitioning to shorter, more focused training courses that will be conducted quarterly. This new approach offers several benefits:
- Engaging and Manageable: Each training session will be shorter, making it easier to fit into your busy schedules while keeping the content engaging and relevant.
- Up-to-Date Information: Quarterly sessions allow us to provide you with the most current information and best practices in cybersecurity.
- Continuous Learning: Regular training helps reinforce important security concepts and keeps them top of mind throughout the year.
We believe this new format will not only enhance your learning experience but also strengthen our collective ability to protect our University from cyberthreats. Your participation in these training sessions is crucial to maintaining a secure environment for all.
Thank you for your continued commitment to our University security.
