University employees are an important line of defense against cyber-criminal attacks. To help educate you about your role in keeping information assets and IT systems secure, we have contracted with SANS, an organization that specializes in security training and research, to deliver a series of online information security training modules.
To access the training modules, please visit http://MakeITsafe.missouri.edu. Go to the Security Awareness section and click on the “SANS Securing the Human” link. You must complete four, brief modules by December 31, 2014 in order to comply with the training requirements within the UM Information Security Program. The following modules, of which the longest module is 5 minutes and 30 seconds, have been selected for this first year of training:
• You are the Target
• Social Engineering
• Email and Instant Messaging
• Mobile Devices
