HEISC Webinar
Chapter 1: Getting Your Campus Ready for a Phishing Awareness Campaign
Speakers: Sandy Silk (Harvard University) and Eric Weakland (American University)
Tuesday, April 11, 2017
3-4 pm EDT
Access info is available at: www.educause.edu/security<http://www.educause.edu/security>

Abstract:
Organizations don’t need to deploy phishing simulation 
programs<https://library.educause.edu/resources/2016/4/phishing-simulation-programs> in order to gain some foundational 
benefits from general awareness about phishing attacks that drive engagement and reporting from end users. Whether or 
not you take the giant leap to launch a “self-phishing” program, there are some common questions and basic steps that 
institutions should address first about current practices. Hear two higher ed community members share what they did 
before moving on to campus-wide phishing awareness and exercise campaigns.

Note: This is the first chapter in a small series of informal webinars on phishing programs as educational training 
tools. This session is an introductory level or for those with a general interest in phishing awareness efforts that 
may include campaigns or other approaches. Chapter 2 will focus on adding a self-phishing program to the campus 
portfolio and getting buy-in at the executive level. Chapter 3 will focus on campus experiences and lessons learned 
from ongoing phishing campaigns. (Dates for the next two webinars have not been selected yet.)


Please feel free to share this information with your colleagues.

Thank you,
Valerie
