Information Security Education Program Deadline: 11/1

Are you all ready for another spine-chilling story? Since everyone is busy with the fall semester and autumnal activities, I’ll make it a two-sentence horror story:

Today is October 19th. November is less than 2 weeks away! *studio audience screams*

If you haven’t already, please try logging into https://learn.ue.org/Login2.aspx to confirm that you can see your 5 InfoSec learning modules. As you are completing the course, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • If you’re having trouble logging in, visit https://learn.ue.org/Forgot.aspx and enter your Bryn Mawr email address for a new password
    • Your InfoSec password is separate from your Bryn Mawr College password for email/Moodle/Bionic so resetting the InfoSec password will not affect your College accounts
  • There are 5 courses within the InfoSec Program, so make sure to scroll left and right to find the additional courses. All course titles should start with “Data Security”
    • The site may indicate that you’ve taken the course previously. If the last time you took the course was before 01/01/2022, then you will need to retake it.
  • For help during any point of the InfoSec process, please reach out to the Help Desk via help@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-7440

Thank you all again for spending the time to take this course — it really does make a difference in how our community as a whole responds to fraudulent activity.

Bonus content: If one scary tale isn’t enough, here’s another two-sentence horror story to enrich your spooky season:

Today I received an email from an unknown sender demanding me to open the attachment — or else. I opened the attachment, and it was ~Ransomware~! *studio audience faints*
