October is Cyber Security Awareness Month in North Carolina. One purpose of this annual event, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is to raise awareness about cybersecurity. 

As part of North Carolina’s participation this year, the Office of Information Technology Services is providing free, online training for all state employees. In collaboration with the Office of State Human Resources, we are making the training available in the NC Learning Center. The NC Learning Center can be accessed by logging into the Beacon system and selecting the Learning tab. 

Click here to view the Information and Security Awareness Training memo from Chris Estes, State Chief Information Officer. 

Once logged into the NC Learning Center, select the Cyber Security training logo to view available learning opportunities.
