One in five people can’t identify a phishing email. That’s why ITS works to educate the campus community about how to detect and avoid being caught by malicious emails that “phish” for personal and campus data. In recognition of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), ITS is sharing tips and tools for keeping you safe online and not becoming a cyber-victim.

From Oct. 1–18, ITS is holding a phishing quiz, a contest where students can take a quiz to learn more about how to identify phishing emails and fraudulent websites.

Everyone who takes the 10-question quiz will be entered to win one of six prizes, no matter how many answers they get right. Visit drake.edu/its/quiz to see the full contest rules and take the quiz starting Oct. 1.

The goal of this contest is to empower students to be able to keep their data secure. Learn more about IT Security this month and beyond by following Drake ITS on Twitter at @DrakeITServices.
