The Office of Information Security (OIS) is always looking for ways to improve your security and reward your participation in our efforts. For this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we broadened the range of topics covered by our knowledge test, and we increased our prize amounts accordingly. We hope that taking this quiz and playing the Spot the Phish game for a bonus entry will help you keep yourself and WashU more secure.
Guidance for Reporting Phishing
Have you seen the Phish Alert Button (PAB)? It’s the easiest way for you to report potential phishing attacks while giving our office all the information we need to analyze and neutralize any potential threats. You can find the PAB in the interface of the Outlook email clients on desktop and mobile or in the browser-based version of Outlook. Please check out the page below for more information about the PAB and where to find it.
