Re: New Employee Security Training

["Ludwig, Linda" <LUDWIGL () GRINNELL EDU>]

We finally got a small slice of the new employee orientation. I have just 15 minutes so I do an Icebreaker that goes 
over a lot of possible problems in a very short time. I pair them up and give them the photo of a desk and they have to 
identify at least 12 infosec problems in the picture. I have attached the handout I give them with the solutions which 
we go over as a group. It's a quick way to cover a lot of little things in a short period of time. Then I give them 
some local higher ed examples of data breaches and the cost of the breaches. The main focus of the 15 minutes is to 
protect the data and how to contact InfoSec of anything suspicious.

Subject: [SECURITY] New Employee Security Training

Does anyone do IT security training as part of on-boarding new employees? If so, what do you cover? Who does the 
training (IT, HR, or?)? When is the training done? How well does it seem to work for you? What would you do differently?

We would like to implement something like this, but are afraid of overwhelming a new employee during their HR 
orientation. Something done a week or two later may have a better chance of sticking with the end user, but requires 
much more time and organization on our part.
