Annual Cyber Security Training
- Posted:
- April 6, 2026
The Data Security & Incident Response Team (DSIRT) is announcing a new mandatory, self-paced Cyber Security Training that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Successful completion provides a certificate for your records.
Similar to our existing WISP course, this training is required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), our cyber insurance carrier, and external auditors. The course is critical for safeguarding data within our environment and ensuring compliance with government regulations.
This training is provided by a recognized leader in cybersecurity awareness and covers the most recent types of cyber-attacks. It will be updated annually to reflect current challenges in protecting our institution from evolving threats.
Q: When will this training become available?
In the coming days or weeks, you will receive an email titled “FDU 2026 Annual Cyber Security Training Program (Enrollment)” from noreply@training.fdu.edu. After receiving the email, visit training.fdu.edu and complete the course within three weeks.
Q: Will everyone receive it at the same time?
No. The training will be distributed to different groups over a two-month period starting this week.
Q: Is there a quiz at the end and a required passing score?
Yes. A score of 80% is required for successful completion, and you may retake the quiz as many times as needed.
Q: Is my participation being tracked?
Compliance must be reported to various entities. Your participation and successful completion of this training will be tracked by USAN.
Q: What happens if I do not complete the training on time?
Your NetID will be disabled one week after missing the final reminder. With a three-week completion window and additional weekly reminders for two weeks, this outcome is expected to be avoidable.
Q: Do I still need to complete WISP training every two years?
Yes. This program does not replace the existing WISP training, which covers Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Personal Health Information (PHI). Cyber Security Training focuses on identifying threats and suspicious activity that could compromise our environment.
