From: Division of Information Technology
The Division of Information Technology is pleased to announce an expansion of the Phishing Education Program to include all university employees. The expansion will launch on Feb. 2, 2026. This initiative, which was piloted to select departments in 2025, is a cornerstone of efforts to build a resilient cybersecurity culture at Virginia Tech.
The Phishing Education Program enhances every employee’s ability to recognize and respond to phishing attempts. The program delivers simulated phishing scenarios directly to your inbox on a monthly basis. These realistic emails provide direct experience in identifying suspicious emails and practicing safe responses in a controlled environment.
Email-based phishing attacks remain the most prevalent and damaging form of cyber threat in the education sector. The consequences of a successful phish can be severe, ranging from data breaches to financial loss and reputational harm. That’s why this program focuses on sending simulated phishing emails with a goal to foster awareness and encourage proactive learning. For more information regarding the program, visit Understanding the Phishing Education Program.
The expansion of this program reflects Virginia Tech’s commitment to a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity. Technical solutions alone are not enough; vigilance is essential. Through ongoing education and awareness, we aim to reduce the risk of data breaches and other cyber incidents.
To further support your learning, the Division of IT offers resources such as Safe Online at Virginia Tech, which provides practical tips and additional training opportunities. We encourage you to explore these materials and stay informed about evolving cyber threats.
