I've had numerous requests for copies of the Security Awareness Seminar here at NKU and I hope I have replied to all of you. If I haven't replied to you, please let me know. As we work on additional security implementations and policies, the seminar will change down the road. If we could work on a seminar "template" that each school can start with and change to fit the requirements and implementation of the school and keep the template up-to-date with the latest security info, we could make it easier to start security awareness programs. Keeping in mind that our users are not "technical", we try not to go over their heads but make sure they understand and can maintain the security practices that we require. We can secure our networks and servers, but if the users aren't practicing security then what's the use?

All IT staff are required to attend the seminar. We are trying to require that all new faculty and staff attend the seminar as well. We also are developing a security web site with all the needed information. I can send you a copy of the seminar information if you like.

Smith [mailto:Steven.R.Smith () HOFSTRA EDU] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 11:03 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] User Awareness Program We'd like to start a system security user awareness program at our University. We don't want it to be a 1 time event (like a single email), but we also don't want it to be so intrusive (and/or boring) that people ignore the message. I'm wondering what other schools have done, and if you wouldn't mind sharing the cost of any programs you've implemented. It might give me some ammunition to get some funding. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Steve. Steven R.
