Achilles Training Sessions (for IT Security Managers)
The Office of Information Security Management has created a Web-based tool named "Achilles" to help units conduct risk assessments. The next series of hands-on Achilles training will be offered in the CITT computer training lab (2215 Turlington Hall) in March, April and May 2008. You will learn how to use Achilles to help build risk profiles and how to develop a mitigation strategy from the risk profiles. After completing the course, you should be able to manage an IT risk assessment for your unit.
