Become a Cybersecurity Champion

Do you have an interest in cybersecurity? Do you want to know how to help keep your family and friends cybersafe? Do you want to stay up to date on the latest cyberattacks? Would you like to meet people from all over campus? Do you like to work with a team? If you answer yes to any of these questions then you may want to be a Cybersecurity Champion.

What we do

Each Champion provides cybersecurity support in a way that respects and utilitzes the unique culture and strengths of their team.

• Model cybersafe behavior.
• Complete cybersecurity awareness training.
• Subscribe to the Cybersecurity Newsletter.
• Encourage colleagues to complete cybersecurity awareness training.
• Encourage colleagues to subscribe to the Cybersecurity Newsletter.
• Keep up to date on quarterly meetings
• Keep their team informed of the latest cybersecurity threats.
• Inform the IT Security Training Analyst of cybersecurity concerns.
