Re: User Awareness Program

[Tracey Losco <tracey.losco () NYU EDU>]

Hello Steve,

Here at NYU, we initiated a Security Awareness Month about two years
ago.  We host a number of classes throughout the month on various
topics and invite guest speakers.  We try to offer a variety of
classes from basic things such as desktop security to more advanced
topics including viruses and worms.

We created a number of documents from the classes.  Take a look at:

then, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Take care,

Tracey
