Cyber Security Awareness Training


Cybercriminals have become very sophisticated on how to scam people.
• 23% of recipients now open phishing messages and 11% click on attachments.
• 50% open e-mails and click on phishing links within the first hour.
• 75% of data breaches are a result of an end-user downloading malware and falling for phishing or social media scams.

One of the most effective ways you can minimize the phishing threat is through awareness and training.

Monroe Community College has developed a free mini-course for faculty and staff in an online Blackboard course. You will learn how to avoid online fraud and phishing, as well as how to protect our students and college’s information from cybercriminals.
