Hello Everyone, The most dreaded aspect of my job is coming up with a "Security Tip" for our company internal newsletter every week. Each tip must be geared toward a general audience of 3000+ people. So far I have done tips on strong passwords, doing control-alt-del when leaving your desk, screensaver passwords, protect laptop from theft (ie don't leave in back seat of car, amazing how many do that...), clean desk policy, backing up data, and dealing with spam, spyware and phishing. But I'm at my wit's end to come up with more. Googling 'security tips' brings up a million sites, but they all regurgitate the same basic ideas I just mentioned.
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to reiterate the same concepts in different ways. I know some people that won't remember it if they hear it once, but if they hear it two or three times they get the idea. I currently run a security page of current events for my employer and I have the same problem you are. I try to add new items instead of covering the same subjects over and over again, but sometimes you have to in order to get them to recognize the importance. -- Nathaniel Hall, GSEC GCFW GCIA
