UFA's Approach to IT Security
ON THIS EPISODE: UFA Information Technology provides the tools, systems, and hardware to support all employees in accomplishing their mission. Administrative and field personnel need the best tools to do their jobs as efficient as possible, and IT helps make that happen.
In the past few years, UFA has experienced many changes in the IT Division. Business Technology & Intelligence Manager Ginger Watts joined the department about a year and a half ago, and Les Olson Company took over IT support a little while before that.
Keeping our organization’s data secure is a big concern; and though we have software in place to look for threats, attacks on municipalities are unavoidable. Any files that prevent you from getting day-to-day work done may be targeted.
The State of Utah is still recovering from a breach about 12 years ago, and Salt Lake County has been hit in recent years as well.
We need to do our best to be prepared, and employees are the first line of defense. That is why education is critical. Security Awareness Training is mandatory, but thanks to KnowBe4’s dramatic series, The Inside Man, we have a fun way to learn it.
Like a Netflix show, the story helps drive the message and key takeaways. The Inside Man Season 2 starts today, and a new episode will be available every Monday. It is now available on LMS, so it is accessible in our department’s central training location and is assigned to all employees.
Fingers crossed for a Season 3 watch party!
