Technology alone can’t always protect our systems and information. You must remain aware of cyber threats in order to protect both yourself, the University, and the information we collect and store. Even if information security awareness training is optional, learning how to protect yourself from online threats can benefit you in your academic, professional and personal endeavors.

If you’re traveling, on campus, or at home, we believe that knowing how to protect your personal information and keep your devices secure is important. In order to uphold this idea, the Information Security Office offers both in-person training and online awareness materials for faculty, staff, and students.

If you have any questions regarding Information Security, or would like to request in-person training, contact us at infosec@ucf.edu.
