RWU strengthens digital security skills among employees and students

From January 2026, RWU will be using interactive information security measures to raise awareness among all members of the university: While students can complete voluntary e-learning training with a certificate of participation, a realistic phishing simulation will be launched for employees. This is not dangerous, but should help to better recognize fraudulent emails - an important goal in view of the increasing threat of cyber attacks on universities.

The accompanying website infosec.rwu.de (only accessible from the campus network or via VPN) provides information on the content, examples and background to the campaign.
