What is it?
Each year Mount Holyoke College requires all staff and faculty to complete a cybersecurity awareness training through the SANS Institute, widely renowned for its cybersecurity training. The program is designed to comply with the College's data security requirements by providing instruction on data protection both on an institutional and personal level. College leadership supports this initiative and expects all faculty and staff to complete the training.
The training is hosted in the SANS CyberSecurity training platform at mtholyoke.litmos.com. Messages regarding the training will be sent from system@litmos.com.
TIP! Most faculty and staff will be eligible to complete the "PreCheck" quiz, which is 30 questions and usually takes less than a half hour. If you pass every section, you’ve completed
* the training! (20-30 minutes). If a particular section’s topic is a learning area for you, the training will direct you to the learning module for that section. Running through all the modules can take around an hour.
*Faculty and staff who deal with highly sensitive information may be assigned additional modules pertaining to their roles.
