Employee Security Awareness Training

Every employee is required to complete quarterly security awareness training courses through our vendor KnowBe4. In addition, for new employees, there is an initial training course that must be completed as well.

There are random monthly Phishing testing campaigns that send phishing e-mails to every employee in an attempt to lure them into clicking on something within the message. If an employee fails to recognize it as a phishing attempt, they will get a pop-up message indicating that they fell victim to a phishing test. If an employee continuously fails these monthly tests, they will be required to take additional focused security awareness training courses to help them become more security conscious in their everyday work.

There is a Phish Alert button provided in Outlook for employees to report messages as phishing attempts whenever they feel the message is a threat. When in doubt, Phish Alert it!
