Re: Security Awareness Training Tool(s)

We have been looking into security awareness training and have looked at a
couple of vendors. We are now looking into the SANS Securing The Human. I'd
appreciate any feedback on how well this has worked out. What kinds of
feedback has anyone gotten from their users?

We use PhishMe also but just for the running phishing campaigns.  It's
great for that as it has a lot of predefined templates for both phishing
and creating awareness newsletters.  We use SANS Securing the Human for the
content that we then import into our LMS.  We have mandated that all
employees complete security awareness training

Sorry I'm late to seeing this.

Phishme.com offers training with a phishing simulation program that they
charge for. They also do have free training modules for those who cannot
purchase their service - I was able to load them into our Moodle LMS to
create a training course for our faculty and staff, although we have not
mandated the training yet.

Good morning all,
With it being National Cyber Security Awareness Month, this inquiry I’ve
been sitting on seems particularly relevant:
We presently have some training tools for general security awareness, PCI
training, and HIPAA training in our primary LMS and have been contemplating
moving to a different platform (the tools, not the LMS). I’m curious to
know what platforms/tools other institutions are using and whether or not
they think it provides great value.
Specifically, I guess I’d like to know:

   - Which training program are you using?
   - Are there additional modules available such as PCI training? HIPAA?
   FERPA? Etc.
   - Is it/can it be integrated with a Learning Management System?
   - Do you think it provides great value to the userbase you support?
   - Are you considering switching to something else? Why?
   - Anything else you’d like to share (e.g. Do you have regular events
   promoting awareness? Phishing campaigns? Etc.)

Please feel free to contact me off list.
Thank you!
