IT Security Training

At the University of Aberdeen, you are expected to complete our Information Security Awareness course on iDEA. The course consists of five modules: Cyber Security, Digital Ethics, E-Safety, Safe Online and Social Media Ethics. Each module takes a maximum of ten minutes to complete and awards you a digital badge that you can use across multiple platforms including LinkedIn.
