In Touch

With the CIO

Welcome to the 2019 New Year edition of Technology in Motion for Education.
I hope everyone was able to enjoy time with their family and friends during
the holidays. I would like to take this opportunity to wish our readers a very
Happy New Year and continued success!

As we approach this year’s tax-filing season, we would like to, again, remind
our users about security awareness and the importance of keeping their
personal information safe. Cyber criminals have been very active world-wide
attempting to obtain personal information using many varied methods, not
limited to just email phishing. I would like to emphasize that you should be
extra-vigilant for any suspicious emails, phone calls or any correspondence
asking for your personal information.

IN THIS Thanks to everyone for taking the online Security Awareness Training in 2018
to meet our state audit requirements. With this training, our users become
more aware of computer phishing, security threats and how to protect
ISSUE personal information. We have launched the FY19 Security Awareness
Training with updated material from the SANS institute – please check your
eLearning portal in PeopleSoft and complete by March 29, 2019.
