Re: Phishing and Security Awareness Training - Faculty

At the University of Dayton,  we made the decision to move all faculty,
staff and student employees to 2FA during the 2016 calendar year. In an
effort to position this effort a more than 2-Factor, we also designated
2016 as our "Year of safe computing" - driven by the theme "becoming
cyber-mindful."

A major component to this effort are regular monthly  phish tests  using
KnowBe4.  We have been amazed at the positive response.  Several keys:
executive leadership support,  authenticate and fun/engaging
communications and a clear strategy that positions phish tests as our way
of "exercising our phish detection and avoidance muscles."  We take extreme
care to never blame or shame anyone who falls victim.  It all about getting
better and rewarding the right attitudes and behaviors.

Hope this is helpful!

Hello,



We are looking at starting a phishing/security awareness training.

We are considering something like Wombat Security or GoPhish.



Did you do something similar at your university and if yes, did you
receive any negative feedback from your staff and faculty?

What solution/vendor did you use?



Searching through Educause archives, I found this great 10 point
implementation checklist/guide :

Any insight is greately appreciated.





Thank you,
