The hacking attack on Google earlier this year is an excellent example of how an unsuspecting employee can undermine all the security controls that might be in place in an organization.

When you are putting together a security awareness training solution you need to make it not only interesting but RELEVANT.

An ideal way to engage learners is through video. As an example of the popularity of video you only need look as far as the website YouTube, which currently has 15 hours of footage uploaded to it by users every minute. Digital technology whether it is mobile, video or computer games has fundamentally reshaped the way most of us connect with, make sense of and engage with society.
