According to federal laws and regulations, all United States Antarctic Program (USAP) participants who have access to USAP information resources must do the following:

Awareness Training

All USAP participants are required to complete information security awareness training on an annual basis. USAP Information Security Awareness Training must be completed one of the following ways:

Online Learning Center Information Security Awareness Course

Most USAP participants must meet training requirements by completing the Security Awareness Course through the USAP Online Learning Center (OLC), as instructed in your deployment packet.

If for some reason you cannot take the training via the OLC, you must send an email to den-it-securityawareness@usap.gov with a justification. Information Security emails you indicating whether your justification is approved or disapproved.

Offline Information Security Awareness Course and Quiz

If USAP participants are en route or do not have access to the Online Learning Center (for example, people deployed on the vessels), they must read the offline Information Security Awareness Course and Quiz.  A facilitator notifies you if it is appropriate for you to complete training via this option. If so, the facilitator also provides you with paper or electronic forms to sign for acknowledgement of training completion and acceptance of the Enterprise Rules of Behavior (EntROB).

Enterprise Rules of Behavior

If you complete awareness training via the USAP Online Learning Center, you read and accept the USAP Enterprise Rules of Behavior (EntROB) as part of the course. If you complete awareness training through federally approved information security awareness training through a federal agency outside the USAP, you must read and accept the EntROB separately:

Read and Acknowledge the EntROB

By accepting the EntROB acknowledgement, you confirm that you will adhere to the USAP EntROB while using USAP resources.
