Protect The Nest: Cyber Security Ambassadors


ESU IT needs your help promoting safe practices on the web!

We are launching a new program called Cyber Security Ambassadors. ESU students and employees will have the opportunity to gain valuable experiences and knowledge of cyber security threats, and how they can help protect their department.

Did You Know? A study at the University of Maryland concluded that on average, there are hacker attacks on computers with Internet access every 39 seconds - affecting one in three Americans every year.

Cyber Security Ambassadors will learn cyber-safe practices, tips and techniques that relate directly to their field of study. They will be empowered to take lessons learned and share their knowledge with others to promote safe IT practices at ESU and abroad.

Ambassadors will receive a FREE T-shirt, ESU koozie, cup and will be eligible for more swag throughout their participation. Ambassadors that complete presentations and participate actively in the program will also be eligible to receive a letter of participation detailing areas of technical competency signed by the Information Security Officer.

Program orientation and welcome session will begin shortly after Spring Semester begins. At the orientation Ambassadors will be given an overview of the program and ways they can engage with their fellow classmates and other peers. During this time members of the Information Security office will take suggestions and comments about topics that the Ambassadors would like further information on.
