Cyber Security Awareness and Training
As part of our ongoing commitment to protecting York College’s digital infrastructure and safeguarding the sensitive data of our students, faculty, and staff, we are recommending the Cybersecurity Training Program for all employees.
While many members of our community have already completed the training, we are asking for your support in encouraging any remaining staff and faculty within your departments to complete this important training as soon as possible.
This training is essential for:
- Increasing cybersecurity awareness
- Minimizing potential risks
- Ensuring compliance with institutional and regulatory standards
Your leadership and assistance in this matter are greatly appreciated. By working together, we can ensure a safer and more secure digital environment for everyone at York College.
If you or your team have any questions or need assistance accessing the training, please contact the IT Services Department at x5300.
