Protecting Your Institution from Phishing Attacks: Education and Awareness Resources

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Dear Security Discussion Group members, 

As most of you know, phishing is not a new threat to the higher ed
community, but many schools have experienced an increasing number of
targeted phishing attacks over the past several months. Most
institutions are working to combat these phishing attacks through
education and awareness activities in the next few weeks as students
return to campus.

EDUCAUSE has compiled a number of phishing resources
(http://connect.educause.edu/term_view/Phishing) that include websites
on phishing, quizzes and games, and downloadable materials (e.g.,
posters, brochures, bookmarks, postcards, and videos).

Please share any additional suggested resources with the Security Task
Force (security-task-force () educause edu). You can also post comments via
our blog:

Thank you,
Valerie
