EVERYONE at MSU plays a role in helping to secure our computers and information.KnowBe4 has the world's largest library of security awareness training to help keep us all protected.  

 

Who Should Be Taking These Trainings?

KnowBe4 Trainings, both monthly and annual, should be completed for all Faculty and Staff, including Student Employees including GTA and GRA.

For Students, KnowBe4 is recommended but remains an optional training.

 

 

Is this training mandatory?

All Montana State University employees are required to complete their annual information security training. MSU has made it a priority to ensure that our community has the appropriate knowledge to protect the accounts, data, and computers for which they are responsible. 

 

 

What if I am a Student and an Employee or Faculty?

If you are a Student and also an Employee, including GTA and GRA, you will have two logins for KnowBe4: one for your Student Account and one for your Employee Account. Make sure to log in to the appropriate account to complete the training.

To ensure you receive credit for the trainings, please log in to the correct account. Trainings taken under the Student Account are not credited or recognized in the Employee Account.

 

 

I receive reminders to complete my training, but when I log in, it tells me I have no trainings to complete.

These notices are sent only to Employee Accounts, including Student-Worker (GTA & GRA). If you completed the training it is advising you did not complete, check if you completed it in your normal student account. If you successfully completed the training in your student account, you can submit a ticket to securitytrainingrequest@montana.edu and have these courses credited toward your Employee Account.
