Thanks, Angelo!  We have SANS as well, but have not tied it to this purpose
yet.  Which module do you have them take?

We utilize SANS Securing the Human modules for this exact situation.  It is
tied into our Black Board system and users are required to take a short 4
minute module as we reactivate the account.

Good morning!

 

We are interested in finding out if there are any institutions out there
that require some sort of basic awareness training as part of the process of
account recovery and if so, what exactly you require your users to do.  In
other words, when we discover that an account is compromised, we have the
account reset to its claim state and the person is required to show ID in
order to reclaim the account.  However, because we suspect that many of the
compromised accounts become compromised because the user has clicked on a
phishing link, we'd like them to ALSO have to perhaps take a short training
exercise about phishing and answer a handful of questions before they can
reclaim their account.   Do any of your institutions require anything like
this process?  If so, would you please contact me either on or off list and
let me know more about your process?  Thanks!

 

Best,

Cathy
