OUCH! - Information Security Newsletters

Technology Services' Information Security Office has partnered with the SANS Institute to offer materials and training to Whitman employees.

This information and training are designed to give individuals a broad understanding of the challenges that face us in both our work and home on-line interactions.

Additionally, all Whitman College employees have access to online Security Awareness training modules - available here, or by logging in to MyWhitman and accessing the link from the Staff or Faculty tab.
