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.
All University staff, College staff, students and other users, who use University information services must complete the University’s cyber security awareness training annually. Please refer to the Information Services Acceptable Use Policy for more information.
The required cyber security training is hosted on the MyCompliance Cloud e-learning platform. You must be logged in with your University identity – [CRSid]@cam.ac.uk email address and University account password (formerly called Raven).
If you have not completed the course yet, or if you are due to repeat your cyber security training, you will receive an email from no-reply[@]metacompliance.com on behalf of the University asking you to complete the cyber security awareness training that has been assigned to you in the MyCompliance Cloud. Please note that you must complete all sections of the course.
