In our digital world today, attackers seem to be lurking behind every click of the mouse or tap on the screen. Many people forget that they are the keepers of their own security safety and the security safety of the institutions for which they are employed.

Lesson 1: Cybersecurity Awareness for Employees: Security Awareness Essentials (Texas)

Cybersecurity Training Requirement
Texas Government Code § 2063.103, originally enacted by House Bill (HB) 3834 of the 86th Texas Legislature, requires state and local government employees and elected officials who have access to a state or local government computer system or database to complete a certified cybersecurity training program each year. State contractors with that access have the same requirement under § 2063.104. Access means a person has been given an account to access any state or local information system. Vector Solutions offers “TX – Cybersecurity Awareness for Employees,” a 2-hour course certified by the Texas Cyber Command (TXCC) to meet the annual requirement.
