The University of Helsinki IT Security Test will be deployed for all Bachelor's, Master's and Licentiate students and doctoral researchers starting February 9 2022. In the future test will be taken annually.
All students do not take the test at the same time. The times for taking the test are staggered throughout the year starting from the time of its publication, and the schedule is based on your username. You will be informed about your test schedule via e-mail two months before the due date. If you do not take the IT Security Test by the assigned date, your user account will be locked.
The aim of the IT security test is to improve the ability and skills of the university community to protect itself from information security threats. The concise annual test allows you to maintain your information security knowledge and pay attention to ways of working that are correct from the information security perspective. The test will only take about 15 minutes of your time and it is taken in the university’s Moodle learning environment.
