CSAM (Cybersecurity Awareness Month) is an opportune time to remind community members of available information security training, which includes recommending NYU faculty and staff (NYU-US) complete their annual baseline/foundational training on NYU’s Cybersecurity Awareness Training platform (powered by KnowBe4). The 2022 baseline training includes two modules: Security Awareness Foundations, which is an interactive training module (covering the topics listed below), and the Security Awareness Proficiency Assessment, which helps us better understand training needs. Please allocate 35-40 minutes for training completion.
Topics Covered in Security Awareness Foundations:
- Social engineering threats
- How to combat phishing threats
- WiFi best practices
- Creating strong passwords
- Mobile device security
- Physical security
- Secure practices when working remotely
- Staying safe on social media
In addition to the above-referenced baseline training, faculty and staff have ongoing access to a library of other cybersecurity learning resources via the Cybersecurity Awareness Training platform, (nyu.edu/it/security/training/login). We hope you’ll browse the library and take additional training on topics of interest. This library is visible in KnowBe4, as shown below.
Students have access to their own interactive Cybersecurity Awareness learning resource: nyu.edu/it/security/training/login, which is self paced training that can be completed in whole or in part, and can be resumed or revisited at any time.
