As mentioned last month, we are about to begin a cybersecurity awareness training program with a company named Infosec IQ. This will entail a series of short training courses (one or two a month) and potentially some simulated phishing emails. These courses focus on subjects like password management, identity theft, malware, social engineering, phishing, spear phishing, physical security, Business Email Compromise (BEC), Internet of Things (IoT), travel safety, mobile data, privacy and acceptable use. The purpose of putting this training into place is to raise awareness to the threats in our environment and to avoid costly data breaches. Onboarding is a simple process. Users will be sent an enrollment email, notifying them of an assigned course. The provided link will take the learner directly to their dashboard to complete each corresponding module.
As a reminder, Etrieve is undergoing maintenance this morning and will be unavailable from 7:30 a.m. until noon. The outage includes HR, payroll and finance forms, as well as document filing/retrieval.
Etrieve will be undergoing maintenance on Thursday, Nov. 11. The system will be unavailable from 7:30 a.m. until noon. The outage will include HR, payroll and finance forms, as well as document filing/retrieval.
This may be the last week of our campaign, but The Road to Cybersecurity never truly ends. It takes small precautions from each of us, every day, to keep ourselves and the college secure.
Remember, you don’t have to be a cybersecurity expert to stay safe and secure. Follow our security policies to make sure you’re taking the right precautions and if you see something suspicious, please report it!
Thanks again for taking this trip on The Road to Cybersecurity! This week, we’re talking about the importance of verification.
Cybercriminals like to send mixed signals. They may impersonate your supervisor or even Dr. Warren and make odd requests to wire money, purchase gift cards or share sensitive information.
Even if a request appears to come from a legitimate sender, verify using a different communication method. Give them a call, send them an instant message on Teams or drop by their desk to confirm. Better safe than sorry!

The Road to Cybersecurity is lined with signs that indicate whether an email or web page is safe or a security threat.
Here’s the catch. Cybercriminals are smart and do their best to hide their tracks. That’s why it’s important to be suspicious.
Don’t be afraid to question the legitimacy of an email and if something looks suspicious — report it!
Welcome to the Road to Cybersecurity! To kick things off, let’s start with one of the most important rules of the road — go slow.
As cyberattacks speed up, it’s even more important for each of us to take our time when checking emails, browsing the web and using connected devices.
Taking a few extra seconds could be the difference between a security breach and stopping an attack in its tracks.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month — our chance to sharpen our cybersecurity skills, learn ways to avoid security threats and have some fun while we’re at it!
Starting next month, we’re hitting the road — The Road to Cybersecurity!
Each week, ITS will share helpful tips and resources to help you stay safe and secure on your online travels — at work and at home. Also, a couple of cybersecurity training videos will be available to all LLCC employees. An email with a link to the training videos will be sent out later next month. Per board policy “10.4 – Employees’ Role in Security,” cybersecurity it is the responsibility of all users. It is strongly recommended that you complete the training.
As always, if you have any questions about cybersecurity or if you spot something suspicious, ask us! We’re here to help.
Safe travels!
