Advanced Security Awareness Program (ASAP) Updates and June Raffle Winner
July 11, 2025
With the end of June, the Advanced Security Awareness Program (ASAP) has now completed its first quarter. A lot has happened over the past three months! We rolled out the Phish Alert Button (PAB) to all participants to report malicious emails faster than ever. We finished our first training campaign on phishing and social engineering. We even got some practical experience analyzing real phishing emails from bad actors in our first phishing test! This quarter, we鈥檒l be learning about how to recognize and avoid dangerous QR codes. What evil plans will the Cyber Heroes foil next? Stay tuned to find out!
This month鈥檚 newsletter raffle winner is Michelle Pope from the Enterprise Applications team at UA OIT! You went the extra mile to learn more about advanced phishing techniques and AI-powered cyberattacks. Your efforts to increase cybersecurity at UA help protect your community from bad actors.
