On Monday, March 25, all faculty and staff should’ve received an email from “Drake Information Technology Services (ITS)” with the subject line “You’ve been enrolled in ITS security awareness training” regarding a mandatory security awareness training module from our training partner, KnowBe4. If you haven’t completed the training, you’ll receive a reminder message with a link to the training module later this week. The course should be completed as soon as possible and will take you about 15 minutes. 

Cyber security awareness training provides our Drake community information to effectively protect both institutional and personal data. This training is also required for Drake to comply with applicable data privacy laws and helps contain our cyber insurance costs.

We appreciate the number of people who reached out to verify the legitimacy of the message. If you have other questions or concerns, submit an Account/Security Request or call the ITS Support Center at 515-271-3001.
