RPTU Government IT security training

Announcement

At the beginning of May 2025, across-location, freely bookable course on
"Information Security" was published in the OpenOlat catalog at RPTU
.

Description

This course, designed by the government IT security training - BITS for short - is aimed at employees and staff as well as members of the RPTU and all other interested parties.

The course is not only intended to impart knowledge, but also to encourage people to think about their own habits and perhaps even change them, to actively engage with the topics and to implement the recommended measures.

Learning objectives

The course is divided into 10 lessons of different lengths. The breakdown is as follows and can be found on the left:

  1. Lesson E-Mails
  2. Lesson Viruses
  3. Lesson Passwords
  4. Lesson Surfing the Internet
  5. Confidential data lesson
  6. Lesson Social Media
  7. Lesson Cloud
  8. Lesson Mobile devices
  9. My workplace lesson
  10. Lesson AI - Artificial intelligence

In principle, the chapters are more or less coordinated with each other, but you can also read and work through them in your own order and thus topic-related.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites that must be fulfilled in order to attend the course.

Certificate

There are usually a few test questions at the end of each chapter for self-assessment. These self-tests are not graded.

However, there is a final test at the end of the entire course at the latest, which must be passed with over 80% in order to receive an OLAT certificate.

Phishing Master" simulator

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has written a program to train itself to quickly distinguish phishing emails from genuine emails and "shoot them down". Both phishing and legitimate emails are displayed in a game, which the user then has to shoot down. The rules and controls are explained at the beginning, followed by a short training session. Once you have successfully completed the training level, you can start shooting... have fun ;-)
