Week 18: Tuesday, March 25th
We're switching gears to focus this year's Cybersecurity training on Artificial Intelligence!
With AI becoming more common, it's important we understand the new security risks it brings. This short 10-minute course will cover the basics of how AI can be used in cyberattacks, how to spot potential problems, and what we can do to stay safe. Thanks again for your commitment to keeping our district secure!
This morning, all staff received an email from KnowBe4 with information on completing the training. Complete the training before the end of the day on Monday, April 7th, for a chance to win the March Copley Cup!
