In addition to Gary's information, you can find other security awareness information on the VA SCAN (Virginia Alliance for Secure Computing And Networking) website at: http://www.vascan.org/categories/security_awareness.html (I apologize if someone has already posted this information).

We also offer it at a workshop once a semester. The PowerPoint is available here: http://www.jmu.edu/computing/runsafe/runsafe.ppt We also require people to go through some web pages that display security awareness information whenever they change their password. The present material is viewable at: http://www.jmu.edu/computing/security/sa/ Its a bit more intrusive but amounts to 15-30 minutes every six months. I think we're going to change it so the full training is only required of new people and the material that appears during password change time concentrates on issues surrounding current incidents and threats. We're going to try to get some professional educators, web designers, and online learning folks involved to spiff up the material and have it use more educational principles in conveying information. I obviously have no talents in those areas. :) One of our students put together a multimedia presentation based on our RUNSAFE guidelines and we included it on the CDs we distributed to our student residents. I'm not sure if anyone actually looked at it though. Its a 160MB mpeg file: http://www.jmu.edu/computing/runsafe/runsafe.mpeg I'll not be quitting my day job soon to pursue a career in TV. I also no longer laugh at newscasters that forget their lines. :) -- Gary Flynn Security Engineer - Technical Services James Madison University Please R.U.N.S.A.F.E. http://www.jmu.edu/computing/runsafe ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
