On Monday, March 25, ITS and our partner KnowBe4 will release a mandatory cybersecurity training module to all Drake employees. KnowBe4 will email instructions to access the training module that day, which should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. You’ll have four weeks to finish this mandatory training, but we encourage you to complete it right away.

Topics include phishing awareness, password hygiene, data protection, and safe online practices through reading, videos, and a brief assessment. This training is required to maintain compliance with security laws applicable to the University and help reduce cyber insurance premiums. It also helps our Drake community be safer online and more effectively protect both institutional and personal data.

Thank you for investing your time to better safeguard Drake University against cyber threats.
