Howdy, partners! Cybersecurity Awareness Month is ridin’ into town with a Western theme that’s sure to rustle up excitement across the range. This October, Sheriff Firewall is here to help you outsmart those pesky cyber bandits and keep our digital frontier safe for all Texas Children’s team members.
Cybersecurity Training
The adventure begins October 1 in Voyager with year’s training, TCH IS Don’t Mess with Texas Children’s Cybersecurity. It will sharpen your instincts, help you outwit digital desperados and become a hero of the cyber Wild West.
The deadline for the training is November 21, but if you complete it by end of day October 17, you’ll be entered to win prizes, like an iPad, Nintendo Switch Lite or a set of AirPods.
All Texas Children’s team members who have a Texas Children’s login ID are required to complete this training. Exceptions apply only to specific exempted employees (those on extended leave, who must complete the training within 30 days of returning to work).
