Creating Security Awareness That Works

March 18, 2014 (at 9 a.m.)

It’s hard to make a good Security Awareness program of any size and most security people will say you can forget having a perfect one. But every organization needs a security awareness program that not only prevents problems but can also make their employees into additional security resources. So while the perfect security awareness program may be difficult to achieve it can well be worth the try. This workshop is about the journey to making a great security awareness program. You will learn how to make a great security awareness program for your organization, how to measure and validate it, and how to keep it running. You will get a straight-forward roadmap, some effective tricks from the ISECOM neuro-hacking research to get their attention and keep it, and the details on making it happen.

Target Audience:

Everyone will learn new techniques and tricks in this course. No specific knowledge or experience required.

About the Trainer Pete Herzog is a security professional, neuro-hacker and managing director for the non-profit security research organization, ISECOM. He created the first social engineering methodology for quantifiable testing of human security for OSSTMM 2.1 in 2002. By 2003 he created Trust Metrics for measuring the amount of trust one can put in anything in a quantifiable manner which was added to OSSTMM 3 in 2010. In 2009 Herzog began working with brainwave scanners and tDCS to directly manipulate the brain and understand how people learn and focus attention. In 2013 he released the Security Awareness Learning Tactics (SALT) project to specifically design security awareness based on the neuro research.
