It Doesn't Take Magic: Tricks of the Trade to Create an Effective Security Awareness Program (separate registration is required)

Does improving security awareness seem as impossible as pulling a rabbit out of a hat? One of our biggest information security challenges is raising our community's awareness so that higher education better recognizes and defends against threats. It's a multiyear process, but tackling security awareness strategically enables us to harden the community over time and help ensure they are protecting themselves and others. You don't need magic to create an effective security awareness program—but you do need to learn the best tricks of the trade! Participants will develop high-level strategic security awareness plans and identify key activities and initiatives.

Outcomes: Understand key elements and considerations in creating a security awareness plan * Complete a high-level plan and identify specific deliverables for selected topics * Identify appropriate metrics for evaluating effectiveness
