Special offer to higher-ed for SANS Securing The Human awareness training program

[Doug Pearson <dodpears () REN-ISAC NET>]

Greetings,

REN-ISAC[1] and the Multi-State ISAC[2] are happy to announce an
opportunity for higher education institutions to acquire the SANS
Securing The Human Program at a substantially discounted cost. Securing
The Human provides extensive employee security awareness training that
targets today's weakest link in enterprise security - the human.

Nineteen online training modules cover topics such as social
engineering, using e-mail safely, smartphone security, and FERPA. A full
list of the modules is included in the attached document that describes
the offering. Each module includes an online assessment. Student
progress through the program can be tracked via a site administration
web interface.

The special pricing is a time-limited opportunity. There is a 45-day
commitment window from May 1 to June 15 during which each purchasing
organization must supply a letter of intent with the number of seats
they guarantee to purchase. The letter must be signed by an authorized
purchaser. Organizations will have until July 30, 2011 to process their
payment or purchase order. The pricing target is $1.15 per seat, based
on an anticipated aggregate of 200,000 seats combined in state, local,
territorial, and educational institution purchases.

To introduce the offer, a flyer is attached, and REN-ISAC will host a
webcast for higher education institutions on Wednesday May 4 at 1:00pm
EDT. The webcast will provide opportunity for interactive Q&A. The
webcast requires Adobe Flash on the viewing computer. Details are at:

available for viewing, at the same web link.
