University employees have access to medium and high-risk data for themselves as well as others. Maintaining the security of that data from the continuous attack by hackers is a constant threat facing our employees.
Based on University of Wisconsin System UWS Administrative Policy 1032: Information Security: Awareness, which requires all employees to complete yearly information security awareness training, all employees, including student employees, are required to complete the Checkpoint: Data Security & Privacy online training by November 11, 2018.
This training will provide employees with best practices on their role in protecting the University’s systems and data and information on how to recognize the methods employed by hackers. The training will also provide information related to the UW System information technology acceptable use policies. Training will take approximately ninety minutes and is self-paced, allowing you to come and go as you please until course completion.
Login information will be included in an email the week of October 8 from “University of Wisconsin-Green Bay” titled “University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Required Online Training.” Once the training is complete, there is no need to notify HR or provide anyone with the optional printable certificate. Completion information is tracked within the system.
Please note, those who have taken the training on or after August 20, 2018, will not be required to retake the training this year and will not receive an email requesting completion.
Please contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2390 with any questions and/or to request a reasonable accommodation.
