October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month    

This month, IT Services will be promoting our cybersecurity awareness and training program Terranova. Through these courses and social media we will be sharing cyber security tips and tricks.  

IT Services wants you to have some fun while learning about cybersecurity so we’re holding campus-wide raffles to both enhance your cybersecurity awareness and give you a chance to win great prizes! Participants will have the chance to win weekly gift cards from Sobeys, Superstore, The Curious Cat, Tall and Small, and the Farmer's Market, along with two grand prizes of headphones and an air fryer. These contests are open to students and staff who complete short cybersecurity courses in Terranova. 

The theme of this year’s cyber security awareness month is Generation Cyber Safe: Because online security knows no age. Each week, IT Services will be launching a new course in Terranova on the following schedule: 

Week 1 - Phishing: helping all generations avoid floundering

Week 2 - Passwords: keep your passwords from being 'fail'words

Week 3 - Updating for security: updating is important, like, should we still say demure?

Week 4 - Protecting Information: safe sharing is not a bad gig 

This week's course is available now. It is called CSM Week 1 - Phishing. You will find this course by going to stfx.ca/ithelp and using the Terranova buttons found on the lefthand side or the links in our post about cybersecurity month. 

Completing the course gives one entry into the weekly draw for one of two $50 gift cards and one entry into the grand prize draw.
