To fortify its digital defenses against escalating and persistent threats in the cyber landscape, the University of Windsor mandates cybersecurity training for all employees.
As part of the Cybersecurity Action Plan, the cybersecurity training is an opportunity for UWindsor employees to learn how to safeguard themselves and share in the responsibility of protecting the University from cyber threats.
The web-based cybersecurity training consists of eight training modules and an attestation. The training takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete and is mandatory for:
- Faculty Members
- Staff
- Post-Doctoral Fellows
- Professor Adjuncts
- Sessional Instructors
- Student Employees
Training modules must be reviewed annually, and all employees are required to complete an annual attestation. By completing the attestation, you confirm your understanding of essential security principles and your responsibility to apply them in your daily work and online activities. Your participation helps strengthen our collective defense against cyberattacks and ensures compliance with institutional and regulatory standards.
