Is your security awareness training just a set of old Powerpoint slides that you pull out once a year and present at an all-hands meeting? You can now provide much more effective security awareness training for your staff, for much less cost than you think. Contact me if you'd like to discuss how you can create a culture of security through a variety of live programs, and modern e-Learning techniques.
