Educating the Rutgers community
Staying secure is everyone’s responsibility, and this means training and education for the Rutgers community. Compliance training for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) concluded with 90% and 84% completion rates, respectively. Meanwhile, a pilot program for cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulations offered training and gathered feedback from over 2,000 Rutgers employees. Security training is now offered to any Rutgers department, staff, or faculty member who requests it. Learn more about compliance and training.

Virtual infrastructure provides tangible benefits
Faster provisioning and reductions in hardware and power consumption are just a few advantages of using virtual infrastructure from the Office of Information Technology (OIT), rather than purchasing and managing your own. The benefits of OIT’s server systems include:
- scale securely
- load-balancing
- backup and restore capabilities
- network monitoring and security
- savings from economies of scale and reduced power consumption
