Employee Cybersecurity Training

All Morehouse employees are required to complete KnowBe4 Cybersecurity Awareness Training twice a year. KnowBe4 is an industry-leading security training platform designed to educate employees on recognizing potential security threats, safeguarding sensitive information, and navigating the digital landscape safely.

Training modules include interactive content, phishing simulations, and real-world scenarios that help employees identify and respond to cyber threats effectively. This proactive training approach reduces risks to the College’s systems and data, reinforcing our commitment to a secure and resilient campus environment.

Employees can complete the KnowBe4 Cybersecurity Awareness Training through MyPortal or by using the link sent to their Morehouse email. Training emails are typically sent once during the Spring and once during the Fall semester.

Additionally, employees can visit KnowBe4 anytime to explore other cybersecurity resources and stay informed. Check your inbox for further details and reminders.

The 4-core strategies for staying cyber-safe, as outlined by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), typically include the following four key practices:

1. Use Strong Passwords: Create long, unique passwords that combine uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information.

2. Enable Multifactor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification to access your accounts, such as a text message code or authentication app.

3. Keep Software Up to Date: Regularly update your operating system, applications, and security software to protect against vulnerabilities and threats. 

4. Recognize & Report Phishing: Be Cautious with Email and Online Communications and avoid clicking on suspicious links or providing personal information to unknown sources.

Implementing these strategies can significantly reduce your risk of falling victim to cyber threats.
