• Training deadline: Tuesday, April 30

The University System of Georgia requires all its employees, including student workers, to complete cybersecurity awareness training twice annually in April and October. This professionally developed training is conducted online through KnowBe4 and provides a comprehensive education on good cybersecurity practices.

To complete the mandatory April training, login to the KnowBe4 Portal with your UGA MyID and password. Once on the training homepage, you should see the UGA logo near the upper left portion of the training window. If you have not completed the training, a course named “2024 Social Engineering Red Flags” will be available to you. To advance through the training, click the “Next” button at the conclusion of each slide. At the end of the training, you will be prompted to take a short quiz. After completing the quiz, you will receive your score.

You will need to click the “Next” button to go to the “Congratulations” screen. There, you will find the “Complete Training” button at the bottom center of the screen. You must click the “Complete Training” button to record your participation. Once your training is complete, you will receive a completion notice in your UGAMail from KnowBe4. You can also download a certificate of achievement if desired.

The updated course for April should take 15-20 minutes to complete. Faculty, staff, and student employees who have questions about the training should contact the EITS Help Desk at 706-542-3106 or email helpdesk@uga.edu. This course will not be available after the deadline.
