2020 KSU Cyber Security Awareness Plan

A comprehensive cyber security awareness plan is critical to raising customer awareness around timely threats and end-user responsibilities for securing institutional information. In 2020, the cyber security awareness plan included the following activities:

  • Conducted the annual Mandatory Cyber Security Awareness training, in addition to the April 2020 timely topics in cybersecurity, in alignment with State and USG requirements

  • Held the 12th annual Cyber Security Awareness Month events online in October 2020

  • In alignment with National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, provided content to the campus throughout October to increase organizational knowledge around timely risks and mitigation strategies

  • Conducted several specialized awareness presentations to departments around campus

You are invited to join the UITS Office of Cyber Security in celebrating twelve years of cyber security awareness at KSU. KSU’s Cyber Security Awareness Day answers the call of the National Cyber Security Alliance to raise awareness and encourages students, staff, faculty, and the community to protect their computers and themselves from an evolving cyber-threat landscape. This year’s event will include industry experts from sectors including corporate, education, and law enforcement.

KSU’s participation in National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) started in 2009. Tens of thousands of NCSAM participants in the United States are participating by posting tips to stay safe and secure on social networks, educating customers and employees, holding events, and more. You can make a difference in the global cyber security atmosphere by remembering to STOP. THINK. CONNECT. By taking some simple security precautions and understanding the consequences of your online behavior, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the benefits of the Internet.
