As part of efforts to strengthen cybersecurity, we have implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users of the university’s systems – students, doctoral school participants and staff. This solution increases the level of protection of access to digital services and data processed within the academic environment.
Strengthening Cybersecurity Competencies
One of the subsequent elements of these efforts is the mandatory e-learning course “Bezpieczny Pracownik w Cyberprzestrzeni – Security Awareness” [Safe Employee in Cyberspace – Security Awareness], addressed to all employees of the University of Lodz. The programme supports the development of practical competencies necessary for safe functioning in the digital environment and helps participants better recognise and respond to contemporary threats.
Awareness of Threats and Everyday Digital Practices
The training covers key areas of cybersecurity, such as phishing, safe use of email, password protection, threats in social media and secure use of online resources. It complements informational and system-based activities aimed at reducing risks resulting from the everyday use of digital tools.
Shared Responsibility for Digital Security
Building awareness of cybersecurity is an integral element of the organisational culture of the University of Lodz. Protecting information and responding to digital threats are a shared responsibility of the entire academic community.
