Security Awareness and Training (SAT)

"" Overview and Key Features:

Security Awareness and Training (SAT) service is designed to equip staff, librarians and faculty with the knowledge, practices and technologies needed to protect themselves and the University from cyber threats.

This service is institutionally funded and comes at no cost to units.

  • Essential security and privacy modules: Engaging, short and interactive training modules to provide baseline knowledge in security and privacy
  • Monthly Phishing Simulations: Realistic phishing exercises to test users’ ability to identify and report malicious emails
  • Delegated access to units: Units get delegated access to the SAT platform and can onboard their users at their own pace

""  Getting Started:

This service is offered to all staff, librarians and faculty through their unit administrators. Any unit can join the service by submitting a SAT service unit onboarding request.

Once onboarded into the Security Awareness and Training (SAT) service, users receive initial onboarding training, followed by quarterly refresher modules. For more information, refer to the SAT user onboarding workflow article.
