Sometime in the next two weeks, I would like to dedicate an episode of The Insider Threat Podcast (https://theinsiderthreat.podiant.co/) to information security awareness training. I need your help! 1. What do you consider an effective awareness training program? 2. What are the key elements of such a program? 3. What have you seen that has been successful? 4. What would you like to see organizations do differently? Please email me at theinsiderthreatpodcast@gmail.com. Be sure to let me know if you would like to remain anonymous. Thank you so much in advance and please share with your network!
