July 2023 Cyber Talk

July 2023 Cyber Talk

July 31, 2023

Each month, ‘Cyber Talk’ will include statistics on GUC’s Phish Alert Button usage and, occasionally, any relevant cybersecurity or Information Technology (IT) tips or updates. 

This month, our Cyber Security Team would like to remind us that a new round of cyber training has been pushed out to employees. 

Cybersecurity Training Update
In July, our IT Help Desk sent an email about the cybersecurity training program for the 2023-24 fiscal year, which will be similar to last year. It will follow the same schedule with the first module of the training beginning the last week of July.

New this year is one less password to keep up with! You can now log in to your KnowBe4 training using the same credentials that you use to for your computer login. Once you enter your email address on the KnowBe4 site, you will be redirected to sign in with your GUC account credentials and be prompted for multi-factor authentication as normal with a GUC login. However, you will no longer have to keep up with a separate password for this site.     

KnowBe4 now also has a mobile application named “KnowBe4 Learner App” that allows you to access your KnowBe4 security awareness training anytime and anywhere.  This app is available for both Apple and Android devices and should make it even easier to complete your training. Instructions on installing the app and linking it to your KnowBe4 training account can be found here.

If you have any questions or issues, please contact the IT Help Desk at extension 1911.   

Phish Alert Button Statistics
IT is tracking use of the Phish Alert Button. The following statistics are from July 2023. Knowbe4 is the company that provides cyber training to GUC employees, and occasionally sends mock phish emails to test our cyber awareness.
