Re: Security Training for Company's Employee

Congrats!

I did an awareness week at one of my former stomping grounds for a
bunch of creative govie types and tech govie types.  All I can say is
KNOW your audiance.  The tech types, go tech - it'll give them wet
dreams and keep them interested.  The non-tech types, keep it simple.
for the creative and eccentric types, I tried to keep it as visually
appealing as possible with cartoon strips (Dilbert works wonders!) and
beautiful designs so they're not cringing about the design layout
instead of paying attention to what's being presented.

Again, it all depends on your audiance, as different presentation
methods will work for some, but not for others (ie I'm not going to
use my cartoon strip/jokes/etc on Sr. Management).

If you're able to put groups together (ie administrative support
groups, programmers, etc) and you have the time and recourses to focus
a presentation that's catered to those specific areas, your auidance
is more likely to pay attention to what you're presenting as they'll
feel it's more applicable to them.

Hope that helps a bit!

Cheers,
Stacey
