UFIT’s Information Security & Compliance Office (ISC) has announced that their next Cyber Self-Defense course will be held Friday, August 26th in Hub 221.  Space is limited; so, register for the workshop as soon as possible online (registration is now closed for these classes however new classes are always being announced and registration can be done through myTraining in the PeopleSoft myUF Portal, search for class UF_GET199_ILT).

A couple times a year the Information Security & Compliance Office teaches this useful course.  It is designed to raise awareness of faculty and staff on topics including safe web browsing, e-mail safety, social media, encryption, and wireless security.  The class is interactive with discussion topics that get the participants thinking about how to protect their personal computers both at the office, at home, and while traveling.  The course is constantly updated to account for the ever evolving landscape of computing devices.  We encourage everyone to take this class, or retake it if it has been awhile, since it gives a good foundation of basic, safe computing rules to live by.

More information about the Cyber Self-Defense course can be found within myUFTraining.
