October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month

To Faculty and Staff:

Cybersecurity threats remain a high-risk area for institutions of higher education. The Farmingdale State College annual information security awareness training program is a requirement for all employees and is designed to protect our computing infrastructure.

You will soon receive an email from KnowBe4 (from email address itsecurity@farmingdale.edu) with a link to the training website (farmingdale.edu/knowbe4) inviting you to begin the training program. You will need to log in using your FSC credentials. The training will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

All account holders who have access to the Farmingdale State College network are required to complete this training by November 17, 2025. If you have any questions please contact the FSC Helpdesk at x2754 or helpdesk@farmingdale.edu.

In addition to the training, please review the additional guidance provided on our Information Technology Security and Safe Computing webpage.

Thank you for your attention and for playing a vital role in securing our campus.
