Why is Information Security Training mandated?
Information security awareness and training are critical elements of William & Mary’s information security defense strategy. Showing our users how to detect malicious cyber activity such as phishing emails, gift card scams, credential theft, ransomware, and other evolving threats is foundational to the prevention of cyber crime. Recognizing these can help you spot similar malicious cyber activity in your email and web sites you visit. Use the links on the left to learn about recent cybersecurity threats and tools and techniques for detecting and preventing them.
Please help us reach our compliance goals!
