Re: Security Awareness Training Tool(s)

["K.C. Mah" <kcmah () MASTERS EDU>]

We implemented Knowbe4 for our faculty and staff this summer. Phishing tests and training are very easy to deploy on 
the backend and there is excellent tracking and reporting data. We use their Active Directory synchronization and SSO 
configurations which makes it easy to deploy and remove users from the system.


There are a plethora of templates available and differing degrees of difficulty with their phish tests. User awareness 
training videos and related email tips are comprehensive with many options available. The training has been received 
well and getting the job done.


In a short time, awareness training seems to be building a more security conscious culture amongst our faulty and 
staff. It appears to be  a great value and is becoming vital piece of our defense in depth strategy.

Scott,

            We just rolled out our security Awareness Training for faculty and staff this month. We are using SANS 
Securing The Human training modules and delivering it through our Moodle LMS. We have built in course feedback to 
capture their impressions on the course. Overall, we have had very positive results. People are very happy about how 
engaging the content is for them. However, i would definitely review the content before you decide to include it in the 
course. Some modules are very specific and don’t necessarily apply to faculty/staff.

We have found through research that if we keep the course around 30 min people are more likely to complete the full 
course.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Francisco Chavez

We have been looking into security awareness training and have looked at a couple of vendors. We are now looking into 
the SANS Securing The Human. I'd appreciate any feedback on how well this has worked out. What kinds of feedback has 
anyone gotten from their users?

We use PhishMe also but just for the running phishing campaigns.  It's great for that as it has a lot of predefined 
templates for both phishing and creating awareness newsletters.  We use SANS Securing the Human for the content that we 
then import into our LMS.  We have mandated that all employees complete security awareness training

Sorry I'm late to seeing this.
Phishme.com<http://Phishme.com> offers training with a phishing simulation program that they charge for. They also do 
have free training modules for those who cannot purchase their service - I was able to load them into our Moodle LMS to 
create a training course for our faculty and staff, although we have not mandated the training yet.

Good morning all,
With it being National Cyber Security Awareness Month, this inquiry I’ve been sitting on seems particularly relevant:
We presently have some training tools for general security awareness, PCI training, and HIPAA training in our primary 
LMS and have been contemplating moving to a different platform (the tools, not the LMS). I’m curious to know what 
platforms/tools other institutions are using and whether or not they think it provides great value.
Specifically, I guess I’d like to know:

  *   Which training program are you using?
  *   Are there additional modules available such as PCI training? HIPAA? FERPA? Etc.
  *   Is it/can it be integrated with a Learning Management System?
  *   Do you think it provides great value to the userbase you support?
  *   Are you considering switching to something else? Why?
  *   Anything else you’d like to share (e.g. Do you have regular events promoting awareness? Phishing campaigns? Etc.)
Please feel free to contact me off list.
Thank you!
