Re: Enforcement of Security Training for Faculty/Staff

[Anand S Malwade <Anand.Malwade () SHU EDU>]

We initiated IT Security Training and Awareness last year targeting Administrative Staff and employees during monthly 
HR orientation which is mandatory and employees have to acknowledge a technology usage form that is kept in their 
personnel file . We intend to start this for faculty as well during their bi-annual orientation coming Fall Semester.

Folks,



We're currently planning IT Security Training & Awareness at our college, and are struggling with some of the same 
challenges I'm sure most of you have faced.  We're currently debating if we can require IT Security Training for 
faculty, and if so, how do we enforce it.



I've gone through much of the previous discussion regarding training and awareness and how to gain faculty acceptance.  
In general, it seems that the majority of institutions can't convince upper management to buy-in to a mandate 
(primarily due to culture or contractual limitations), and thus are left to find creative ways to design and market 
their training to encourage participation.



But, much of the earlier conversation doesn't address how institutions that require IT security training enforce the 
requirement?  Do you turn off network accounts if they don't complete training by a certain date?  Do you make a note 
in their personnel file?  Do you just keep pestering them until they do it?



Any feedback you may have is greatly appreciated.




Thanks,
