Hi, 

We deployed our security awareness training to students. The students were 
not required to take it but there were incentives. 
We licensed the material through an external vendor and leveraged our 
enterprise learning system as well. 
Feel free to contact me offline for more details.

We don?t have anything required for students.  Frankly, if such a 
beast were available, it would be better directed towards staff/
faculty/retirees/etc.  Students are, for the most part, not part of 
the problem.

BTW ? I assume this is for non-HIPAA required training?

training

Good morning all,
We made good progress at the end of 2013 by getting annual security 
awareness training required for all staff (cheers!). It is delivered
with our enterprise learning management system so we can report on 
completion by individual and departments. Many of you have had this 
in place for some time. Thank you for leading the way. 

Now I'm interested in tackling the student side, specifically 
requiring training, upon account set up. 

Will you contact me on or off thread to let me know if you have 
instituted "required" security awareness training for all students. 
Please indicate whether it is a home grown solution or commercial. 

I'm building my case and would like to point to the many successful 
programs that I believe are in place. 

Thank you in advance,

Cathy
