SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING 2025

[Audio] The University Management System (UMW) has a responsibility to protect the confidentiality of all information shared within the system. Faculty, staff, and student workers must be aware of this responsibility and take steps to ensure that sensitive information is not compromised. The UMW system is designed to provide secure access to sensitive information, but it is up to users to follow established protocols for handling such information. Users must also be mindful of their own digital footprints and avoid actions that could potentially compromise the security of the system. Faculty members are expected to adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in their use of the UMW system. They should be aware of the potential risks associated with using the system and take necessary precautions to mitigate those risks. Faculty members are also responsible for reporting any incidents or breaches of security to the appropriate authorities. Staff members are also subject to the same expectations as faculty members regarding the use of the UMW system. Staff members must demonstrate a high level of awareness about the importance of maintaining confidentiality and adhering to established protocols for handling sensitive information. Student workers are also held to the same standards as faculty and staff members when it comes to the use of the UMW system. Student workers must understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality and adhering to established protocols for handling sensitive information. All users of the UMW system must be aware of the consequences of breaching the confidentiality agreements and the potential penalties associated with such breaches. Users who fail to comply with established protocols may face disciplinary action, including termination of employment or academic status..

[Audio] The UMW community has been affected by several major events in recent years, including the 2017-2018 flu season, the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021-2022 winter storm. These events have highlighted the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of unexpected challenges. The university has taken steps to address these issues, including investing in new technologies and infrastructure to support emergency response efforts. However, despite these efforts, there are still many areas where improvement is needed. The university recognizes this and is committed to ongoing evaluation and improvement. The university is also actively involved in various initiatives to improve cybersecurity and data protection, as well as physical security measures. Initiatives include the development of a comprehensive cybersecurity plan, the implementation of advanced threat detection systems, and the creation of a campus-wide incident response team. These efforts aim to enhance the overall security posture of the university and provide a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, and staff..

[Audio] The university has a comprehensive policy on information security that covers all aspects of information management. The policy requires that all employees and students use university-owned computers and networks for official business purposes only. Accessing sensitive information requires special permission and approval from authorized personnel. All employees and students must acknowledge their understanding of this policy when they first start working at the university. This acknowledgment is usually done through an online portal. The university also provides training sessions for employees and students to ensure they understand the importance of information security and how to follow the policy..

[Audio] The principal of least privilege is a fundamental concept in information security. It states that users should only have access to the information and resources they need to perform their job functions. This approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and minimizes the attack surface of the computer. By limiting privileges, we can prevent network exploits and computer compromises. Reporting elevated privileges to the ISO ensures accountability and helps maintain a secure environment..

[Audio] The first step in a successful marriage is communication. Communication is key to understanding each other's needs, desires, and feelings. It involves sharing thoughts, ideas, and experiences. Effective communication helps build trust, strengthens relationships, and fosters a sense of unity among partners. Effective communication also enables couples to resolve conflicts in a constructive manner. When both partners communicate openly and honestly with each other, they can address issues that may arise and work together to find solutions. This approach helps prevent misunderstandings and promotes a more harmonious relationship. In addition to effective communication, mutual respect plays a significant role in a healthy marriage. Mutual respect means treating each other with kindness, consideration, and compassion. It involves valuing each other's opinions, beliefs, and values. By showing respect for one another, couples can create an environment where they feel valued, appreciated, and loved. Mutual respect also encourages open-mindedness and flexibility. When partners are willing to listen to each other's perspectives and consider different viewpoints, they can better navigate life's challenges together. This openness allows them to grow and evolve as individuals while maintaining their commitment to each other. Furthermore, a strong foundation of love and affection is essential for a successful marriage. Love and affection provide the emotional support needed to overcome obstacles and challenges. They help couples stay connected and motivated to work through difficulties together. Love and affection can be expressed in various ways, such as words of affirmation, physical touch, and quality time spent together. By prioritizing these aspects, couples can nurture their relationship and strengthen their bond. Ultimately, a successful marriage requires effort and dedication from both partners. Both partners must be committed to working together to build and maintain a strong, healthy relationship. With effective communication, mutual respect, and a strong foundation of love and affection, couples can create a lasting and fulfilling partnership." Here is the rewritten text:.
