Events & Courses: Information Security Weeks
The “Information Security Week” series of events is offered every semester and provides training for students and staff on various topics and current threats.
In the sub-items, you will find an overview of the relevant information security topics, links to the online training courses and classes under E-Learning or on the Panopto video server, as well as other materials.
We offer two e-learning training courses to prepare employees and students for the topic of email security. The ‘Email Security’ course is specifically designed for university employees, while the ‘Working Safely in Everyday Life’ course is designed for students.
Both courses involve a training video and a short test, and take around 25–30 minutes to finish. A certificate is given to those who pass. The difference between the two courses is that some examples are specifically designed for each group.
