For years now, the Cybersecurity Hub has been the go to web site for everything cybersecurity at Mount Royal University. It started out with a few simple links to training, the newsletter, events and general cybersecurity information. However, over time new policies were implemented and new iniatives were born. With each one, the Hub gained new links until it became impossible to navigate.

The home page contained tons of valuable information, however it was so confusing to sort through that it was challenging to find what you were looking for. It became apparent that we needed to simplify things. Last year, we began that process.

Working with University Marketing and Communications, we were able to identify the key areas of interest and break them down into 6 topics. Outdated information was updated or removed, information that could be found elsewhere was deleted and what was left was consolidated. I am pleased to announce that the new Cybersecurity Hub was launched on September 5.

Not only is the new site easier to navigate but we have added a new section for alerts and announcements. This information is front and center and is updated in real time as new threats are identified. You no longer have to wait for the newsletter to come out on Wednesday to find out about the latest phishing emails hitting inboxes.

Please go and take a look at the new site. Poke around and see what you can find. You might discover some new information that was there all along but too buried to see.
