IT Security Awareness Training

DUE by Friday, Dec. 30


It’s time once again for our annual training. You should have received an email from our KnowBe4 training system, listing the sender as CITY OF COON RAPIDS.

The email contains a link to two separate training videos. Each one is about 15 minutes in length and contain audio and video, so make sure you are in a place where you can hear the dialog without disturbing others.

Note: The training system will not let you fast forward and it does track how long it takes you to complete each of the modules, so allocate enough time. You do not have to do them both in one sitting but this TRAINING IS MANDATORY!!!

You must complete both modules on or before Dec. 30, 2022.
