- ziddoap 2y agoWhile I agree with you, that's why they are a starting point for someone looking to stand up a program, not an end point. And, from my experience, many of the trainings that seem almost offensively easy to me (e.g. "How to read a URL") have been some of the ones that received the most positive feedback from non-technical departments. The real key with security awareness training is ensuring the training is at the appropriate level of complexity for the trainee.
- transcriptase 2y agoOne way to relieve the boredom is to count the number of times you see the people in videos typing away on desktops/monitors with no cables plugged into them.
- datavirtue 2y agoKnowBe4 is awesome. It trains everyone to be on the lookout. The penalty for barely screwing up is another boring training session that no one has time for. Very painful. Pain is a great teacher.
- stevenicr 2y agoVery glad to these options and how they can be perceived by people, this should mean there are paths and that if they can be made better / different for different audiences that they may be well received. Appreciate you and @ziddoap offering insight! Looking at starting deck for FTC issues, Hipaa issues, and Google's policies - all for websites and apps specifically very soon and let the videos / webinars / interactive / discussions grow from here.
