Dear WPI Staff, Faculty, and Students,
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest security standards, compliance and cybersecurity education is offered throughout the year.
Email from compliance@wpi.edu will inform you of topics and trainings tailored to your WPI role(s) and the data you need to access. Additionally, the KnowBe4 platform specializes in promoting cybersecurity awareness through online education and simulated phishing campaigns. The simulated phishing campaigns send fake emails designed to gauge whether our community members fall victim to malicious tactics or not. The campaign results will help ITS identify how our organization is likely to react when a real phishing attack occurs, and how to further promote best practices.
Login to the Help Portal if you are interested in more details about compliance campaigns and cybersecurity education. For questions or concerns about this education, please contact compliance@wpi.edu.
We appreciate your cooperation by participating in the education, and reporting phishing attempts to phishing@wpi.edu. Safely handling data and recognizing malicious email attempts to gain sensitive business and personal information are key to securing WPI’s data. By staying informed about compliance and cybersecurity best practices, we can collectively enhance the security of our university.
Best regards,
Vijay Menta, Vice President and Chief Information Officer
LeeAnn LeClerc, Chief Information Security & Technology Officer
