Students - Security Awareness Training - Spring 2024

Nation-state sponsored Phishing and Ransomware have reached epidemic proportions and are a serious threat to you, your peers, and the College. Entering your college credentials into an obvious phishing scam is incredibly dangerous - with potentially catastrophic consequences.

This semester we will be conducting a Microsoft based awareness training campaign for all students.

On Monday, January 29th, you will receive a notification from the system inviting you to begin your Spring 2024 Security Training. The email invitation will come from (CTS.helpdesk) with the subject line “Training Assignment Notification.”

This training consists of one 7-minute video with questions that address the most important threat we face in our daily interactions online - Phishing. The total time is approximately 7 minutes. You can use this Go to Training link. Additionally, you should not approve any Duo MFA prompts on your phone that you personally did not initiate.

If you have trouble accessing the system, please contact the Helpdesk Zoom Tech Support Monday-Thursday 8am-6:45pm and Friday 8am-4:45pm, or dial +1 646 876 9923, Meeting ID: 914 251 6465 - or create a work request so we can assist.

Please, help us protect Purchase College, and protect yourself! Complete the training, and always think before you click!
