All King County employees are required to complete annual cybersecurity training by Jan. 30, 2026 (even if you took it last year). This includes contractors with access to King County systems. An email from King County’s vendor KnowBe4 was sent Aug. 4 to all employees with links to annual cybersecurity training, with periodic reminder emails for those employees who haven’t completed the training. This is not a phishing attempt.

Please check your inbox for the email “King County Cyber Security Awareness Training” from kc-knowbe4@kingcounty.gov. Cybersecurity training is an important safeguard that helps protect vital King County systems; the number of employees that complete training each year impacts our insurance rates. Total instruction time is about 60 minutes.

Thank you for doing your part to protect King County! For assistance, contact the KCIT Helpdesk.
