Develop An Awareness Program That Actually Works

Organizations must establish an effective security awareness program. As security professionals we’ve likely heard (and said) it more times than we can count. But how often do we stop to think about what it actually means or how it can be implemented? The media is littered with reports of attacks, which emphasizes that it’s time to change the way we approach awareness training. It’s time to lose the never-changing slide deck and think outside the box. In this talk we’ll examine the art of influence at a group level and use social engineering to create positive change.

Key learning points:
  • Creating A New Awareness Program
  • Adapting An Existing Awareness Program
  • Measuring Your Success
