Compliance and Cybersecurity Education

Wpi.Edu • September 24, 2026

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest security standards, compliance and cybersecurity education is offered throughout the year.

Email from [email protected] will inform you of topics and trainings tailored to your WPI role(s) and the data you need to access. Additionally, the KnowBe4 platform specializes in promoting cybersecurity awareness through online education and simulated phishing campaigns. The simulated phishing campaigns send fake emails designed to gauge whether our community members fall victim to malicious tactics or not. The campaign results will help ITS identify how our organization is likely to react when a real phishing attack occurs, and how to further promote best practices.
