Security Videos
"As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, so too do the threats and vulnerabilities we face. People are not always aware of what can potentially endanger them and the University virtually, so reducing risk and remaining compliant at Penn State starts with strengthening knowledge," Kimball states. "SOS intends the video series to foster and expand this understanding." -- Kathy Kimball
The videos are housed in ANGEL, Penn State's Course Management System (at https://cms.psu.edu) to help faculty members and instructors easily reference them in their respective courses. An open enrollment ANGEL group has been created to enable anyone at Penn State to access the videos. Users can find instructions for enrolling in the group via the ITS Knowledge Base (KB) at http://kb.its.psu.edu/cms/article/196, and should use the keyword search term, "Information Security and You" to locate the group. Quizzes for each video are also available to evaluate the specific knowledge that has been conveyed.
Inquiries and requests for assistance may be directed to the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@psu.edu. More information about SOS is available at http://sos.its.psu.edu.
