ITS Office of Information Security

Welcome to Appalachian State University!  We are glad you are here!

Appalachian State University Information Technology Services is partnering with KnowBe4, the world's largest security awareness training platform, to bring security awareness training to all App State employees.  

Cyber crime is a serious problem.  Cyber criminals are always coming up with new ways to trick unsuspecting users into clicking on dangerous links or opening malicious attachments in their email.  By completing this training, you will be equipped with the skills you need to defend University data, as well as your personal data, against phishing and social engineering attacks.

Please complete your training as soon as possible (within a month of your hire date).

Here is the link for you to log in and start your training:
