How NOT to be SAFE on the INTERNET [Poster]

Saturday, March 24th 2012 @ 7:08 PM (not yet rated)    post viewed 456 times

Over the past year or so, I've found that fun, off-the-wall content seems to be one of the most effective ways to engage employees in thinking about how to work securely. So, I'm spending more time developing new ideas into Web-based training packages, games and presentations. I have lots of ideas for things that could be done to make a corporate security awareness program effective, easy to manage and affordable.

In one client engagement, I created a live "ice-breaker" demonstration with props that let people become part of a security safeguard. The demonstration shows how, even with the most straight-forward technical safeguards like firewalls and antivirus software, threats can still get through your perimeter.

Of course, the best security awareness programs are tailored to an organization's needs. So, I like to spend some time with management to discuss their objectives, constraints and any unique attributes of the corporate culture.

Here's a sample of the kind of content that might spark some interest in your IT Management team and general staff. It gives some entertaining, light-hearted tips for  people who'd rather not worry about silly things like Identity Theft or Malware Infections. It's called "How NOT to be SAFE on the INTERNET".

 

I'm offering this poster for you to download. I also invite people to "Pin it" on Pinterest.com (a new image-sharing social media website). In this form, it's free for you do download for non-commercial use. However, if you'd like a poster-sized image with better resolution, please contact me.

What kinds of creative content and programs have you seen that work well for engaging staff and creating memorable impressions of risks and best practices to reduce them?
