The first of two cybersecurity awareness training campaigns for the LLCC 2023-2024 cyber training year with Infosec IQ begins tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 1. This campaign will run through Nov. 30. This will entail four short training courses and assessments and will be followed by a series of simulated phishing emails. The training in this fall module will focus on: multifactor authentication, social engineering, data privacy and incident response. The purpose of putting this training into place is to raise awareness to the threats in our environment and to avoid costly data breaches.
Everyone is required to complete this training will receive an email on Nov. 1 notifying them of enrollment in the course and is required to complete this training by Nov. 30. Failing to comply may result in loss of LLCC network access privileges and disciplinary action per board policy “8.6 – Employee Discipline.” The link provided in that email will take them directly to their Infosec dashboard to complete the module. The enrollment email will be coming from Infosec IQ Notifications <notifications@securityiq-notifications.com> with the subject “Start your security awareness training” Here is an example of what the email will look like:
