Normally a security director orders this information from independent consulting companies. Nevertheless, I'll give you some short answers.Hello List, I'm the Securiy Director for a large bank. After having several pen-tests and audits performed for me I see that I need to do more training for my users.. THis is really apparent for phishing security knowledge...
Different things. Web based trainings, regular training sessions for employees resulting in certificates, security informations inside the intranet and many more.My questions: What are aother large companies doing for training of the user base?
As often, as you want. New hire training is a must. Refresher courses semi-anually or anually.How often should this training take place? ( Refresher courses??? New hire training??)
How effective is CBT training of the user population using a LMS package?
If it isn't a must, it wouldn't be effective.
Define EVERY company. One man show? I'm sure, they won't have it. Large companies normally will have it.Does EVERY company have some type of LMS training architecture?
Don't know anything about Sakai. The GPL states very clear, how things under the GPL can be used.Can you take an Open-Source LMS like Sakai developed my MIT and use it internally? What does this for the GPL? WHat If you wanted to sell the product to other companies you own??
Many companies use LMS for many different purposes, also for security training. There's nothing against it.Basically, I'm trying to figure out the best method for training my user population and enforcing my security policies I have created... I think an LMS system mught be the way to do it but it looks like LMS may be used mostly by colleges and NOT corporations???
