Cyber Security Awareness

Today, we are more interconnected than ever before. Not only do we use the Internet to stay connected, informed, and involved, but we rely on it for almost all of our day-to-day work. The university’s critical infrastructure relies heavily on the Internet for everything from submitting payroll, to applying for student loans, to teaching and research, to even our day to day communication. Can you imagine our lives without the Internet?  Yet, for all of its advantages, increased connectivity brings increased risk of cyber crime and data breaches.

Regular cyber security training is one of our best resources for protecting ourselves and the University against these threats, which is why it remains a top priority for the University System of Georgia.
In keeping with its mission to protect the data entrusted to us, the USG requires that all employees must complete cyber security awareness training twice annually, in April and October. The course is available to all Georgia Southern employees via the Folio learning management system, which can be accessed from the MyGeorgiaSouthern dashboard.
