Cyber security training
Understand the risks of working and studying online and how to mitigate them by completing the University's cyber security awareness training course on our e-learning platform, MyCompliance Cloud.
University staff, including College staff with a University affiliation
All University staff, including College staff with University affiliations, who use University IT services must complete cyber security awareness training once every 3 years. (See notice in The Reporter, 19 April 2023 page 598). Additionally, all members of the Collegiate University are also invited to complete the course.
The course is hosted on the MyCompliance e-learning platform. If you haven't completed it, you'll receive an email from no-reply[@]metacompliance.com on behalf of the University inviting you to complete your cyber security awareness training. It will include a personalised link for you to access the course.
You can log in to MyCompliance with your University identity – [CRSid]@cam.ac.uk email address rather than your institutional email address – and the password for your University account (formerly called Raven).
