A New Year...A New Year of Security Awareness

I have been reviewing how we can make security awareness training more exciting and more relevant for the learner this year. What new tools can we add to the toolbox that will inspire the learner to actually change their behaviors when it comes to being aware of security risks.

With the plethora of social media, video and other communication tools out there, I figure there has to be some way to tie all of these mediums together to produce a truly awesome ongoing weekly awareness campaign. You can tweet about it, put together a video on youtube that you can put on the internal website or use some free video animation tools to flash images that resonate to the learner's everyday work tasks. This past year, Terranova spent a lot of time on the development of new online content with a different pedagogical format focusing more on risks/consequences/threats and best practices than prior versions. We also spent time creating new videos that can be used to promote awareness on various topics. However, I think we really need to look at what can be done with all of these other wonderful tools out there.  What are you planning to do this year to freshen up your training? We would love to hear about your ideas!
