In 2019, the Florida Board of Governors conducted audits of the state’s 12 public universities. The report recommended that the University of Florida enhance its existing information security awareness program by implementing a mandatory annual faculty and staff training.
Faculty and staff may decide when to first take the training during the fall 2020 semester. The annual reminder date for re-taking this training will be based on the initial completion.
