Monthly Training Spotlights
As part of the phased, enterprise-wide Security Awareness effort launched in 2023, UA HR Talent Acquisition & Development team is supporting UA Office of Information Technology's effort in reaching out to make all faculty and staff aware of the annual, mandatory requirement for Security Awareness Training.
The need for this training is driven not only by the increasing frequency, creativity and severity of phishing attacks targeting UA stakeholders, but also by regulatory compliance obligations that mandate Security Awareness Training be performed regularly. You can complete the training immediately by visiting the following links:

The deadline for this training is October 31, 2024. If you have questions or concerns about this requirement, please reach out to [email protected].
