\"Cybersecurity<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This year marked the 20th year that ITS Information Assurance (IA) has invited U-M students to take an online quiz to raise awareness about IT security issues and promote security and privacy best practices during October\u2019s National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All U-M students on the UM-Ann Arbor (including medical students), UM-Dearborn, and UM-Flint campuses who scored 90% or higher on the 10-question quiz were entered into a drawing for prizes. The prizes ranged from Apple Watches, iPads, and Apple AirPods Pro to the student exclusive ITS Security Blanket<\/a>, as well as and gift cards to the ITS Tech Shop<\/a>. Over 9,150 people took the quiz this year, almost 1,000 more than last year, and this year ITS awarded the most prizes ever to 68 students across all campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITS IA provides a number of tools that help educate the entire U-M community about the importance of IT security and privacy best practices. You, too, can test your knowledge of cybersecurity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
