During the month of October, the IT Security and Compliance Office creates a variety of phishing simulations which are sent to your Seneca email address. Think you’ve spotted one? Hit the "Report Phish" button (Hint: look for the red fish!) and you will be entered to win that week’s prize.
The IT Security and Compliance Office is offering the 2025 Foundational Online Security Awareness digital badge for students and employees who complete the training and score 100%.
