Beginning September 28th, we will release three episodes of “The Inside Man,” a soap opera-style training that covers critical cybersecurity themes. Every Friday until October 20th, we will release three more episodes of the series. Each video you watch will count as one entry into the drawing. You will have until November 12th to submit all of your entries.
This annual competition will be hosted in the KnowBe4 platform. To access KnowBe4, log into the one.wustl.edu portal with your WUSTLKey credentials and search for KnowBe4.
Once in the KnowBe4 platform, navigate to your ‘Library’ tab to access the videos.
Want even MORE chances to win?! Download the KnowBe4 app to your mobile device and watch “The Inside Man” there for an additional entry in our drawing. Find the KnowBe4 app in the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store. Step-by-step instructions for accessing the application can be found here.
Participants must be current WashU faculty, staff, or students.
