5 Things IT Services Does That You Might Not Know

When you think about the role of UCLA IT Services, you might think: email, wireless, security, and UCLA Logon ID... and you would be right. But, did you know that IT Services offers many other products and services you might not know about? Here’s a round-up of five things IT Services does that we think are pretty cool!

IT Services Training Center

The IT Services Training Center works both internally and with Administration units to develop instructor-led and online training resources, including user manuals, videos and support materials. They work primarily with technical teams to develop software-related training. They also partner with administrative teams that don’t have dedicated trainers or course developers to design solutions that streamline their training process.

With the Training Center consultation and development services, you can:

  • Decide what training types work best for your business objectives
  • Design online courses that streamline instructor-led training/classroom training
  • Produce short videos on products, processes or services
  • Structure and write training documentation for your user guides

IT Security Office

You may already be familiar with many services provided by the IT Security Office -- such as Multi-Factor Authentication, The Phish Bowl, and Incident Response Management, but did you know that the IT Security Office created an Education and Awareness InfoSec Blog for students called The CyberSafe Bruin that includes a library of security awareness training modules?
