In addition to Gary's information, you can find other security awareness
information on the VA SCAN (Virginia Alliance for Secure Computing And
Networking) website at:

Subject: Re: [SECURITY] User Awareness Program

We have a 90 minute presentation based on our RUNSAFE guidelines
that we provide to groups and classes on demand. We also offer
it at a workshop once a semester. The PowerPoint is available
here:

http://www.jmu.edu/computing/runsafe/runsafe.ppt

We also require people to go through some web pages that display
security awareness information whenever they change their password.
The present material is viewable at:

http://www.jmu.edu/computing/security/sa/

Its a bit more intrusive but amounts to 15-30 minutes every
six months. I think we're going to change it so the full
training is only required of new people and the material
that appears during password change time concentrates on
issues surrounding current incidents and threats.

We're going to try to get some professional educators, web
designers, and online learning folks involved to spiff up the
material and have it use more educational principles in conveying
information. I obviously have no talents in those areas. :)

One of our students put together a multimedia presentation
based on our RUNSAFE guidelines and we included it on the CDs we
distributed to our student residents. I'm not sure if anyone
actually looked at it though. Its a 160MB mpeg file:

I'll not be quitting my day job soon to pursue a career
in TV. I also no longer laugh at newscasters that forget
their lines. :)
