Hi Brent.  We require some basic IT Sec training:  things like recognizing
phishing, good password practices, and a general awareness module.
However, there isn’t much enforcement behind the requirement.



We also require more specific training for people who handle credit cards,
per PCI requirements.

Hi Everyone,



We are currently evaluating our mandatory IT security training policies and
procedures.  Does your university require IT security training for all
employees?  If so, what topics are covered?  Do you require this training
in order to stay compliant with some sort of regulation, or are you doing
it because it is best practice? Do you require this training annually or
just upon hire?

Thanks

Brent
