Cyber attacks are on the rise around the world, making organisations and individuals increasingly vulnerable to threats. Cybersecurity knowledge and support is crucial in today’s world – and that’s where we come in. Please complete our new Cyber Aware @ Unitec module so you can keep yourself and Unitec safe from cyber attacks.
The Cyber Aware @ Unitec module, developed by our Learning & Development and IT teams, has been designed to provide a good understanding of the cyber risks we face, both at Unitec and in our personal lives, and offer clear steps on how to mitigate them.
It’s vital that everyone completes the module so you understand and implement good cybersecurity practice to protect your devices, data, personal information and accounts, whether you’re at Unitec or at home.
We encourage you to get this done as soon as possible so you can tick it off – but you have until mid April if you need it.
