Information security

Protecting information is everyone’s responsibility. Complete your mandatory staff training and familiarise yourself with key sources of information.

You are a key part of our firewall

Cyber security threats are ever evolving, and although we can apply centralised mechanisms to reduce some risks, the biggest risk in information security will always be people and their behaviours.

You are therefore a key part of our firewall.

Information Security Awareness course (mandatory)

An introductory course for staff on Information Security Awareness*, and the vital role you play in keeping our information safe.

The course covers some of the common security risks and what you should do to protect both yourself and our organisation. It's approximately 20 minutes long, and includes a short quiz with a pass mark of 75%.

To successfully complete the course you'll need to:

  1. Complete all content
  2. Pass the quiz by scoring 75% or higher

Please note: the HR mandatory training dashboard is updated at the beginning of each month, so your completion won't show until the next month's update.

*The Information Security Awareness course replaces the historic Cyber Security Awareness course.

Key sources of information and guidance

The mandatory training provides an overview, but the university webpages are the best place to find or clarify information.
