In accordance with the goals of EP37, all employees, including faculty, staff, students, and part time workers, are required to complete designated cyber security trainings within six months of:
Moving forward, all employees will also be required to complete designated cyber security trainings annually. The due date for completing next year’s session will be one year from the most recent completion date.
At this time, students without employee affiliation do not have the option to complete security awareness training.
Policy changes establish high-level requirements for safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy of institutional data and the protection of WSU information systems, services, and devices that collect, store, process, share, or transmit institutional data.
