JSU CYBER SECURITY

JSU Cyber Awareness Training and Materials

A new year-round cybersecurity awareness campaign for the Jackson State University community, delivered through Canvas in partnership with InfoSec.

A New Initiative

Launching a New Era of Cybersecurity Awareness

University partners with InfoSec to launch a year-round campaign.

We are excited to announce a new strategic partnership with InfoSec, a Cengage Company, to fundamentally transform cybersecurity awareness across our entire campus community. Starting in 2025, we are kicking off a comprehensive, year-round cybersecurity awareness campaign that will equip every student, faculty member, and staff member with the knowledge they need to stay safe online—at school and at home.

For Students, Faculty, and Staff

What Does This Mean for You?

Instead of boring annual training, our new campaign focuses on engaging, frequent, and practical lessons delivered right where you already learn: our Learning Management System, Canvas.

  • Gamified Learning: The new curriculum from InfoSec uses interactive, scenario-based modules, challenges, and leaderboards to make learning fun and competitive.
  • Always Current: Training content is updated throughout the year to reflect the latest real-world threats, from sophisticated phishing scams to new malware techniques.
  • Convenient Access: All training will be accessible directly through our Canvas LMS environment, making it easy to complete your modules on any device, anywhere, anytime.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue; it's a critical skill for everyone. We look forward to seeing our community engage with this exciting new initiative and solidify our position as a cyber-safe campus.

Look for announcements and the official course launch link coming soon to your Canvas dashboard in later this month!
