Abstract:  

Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty tech­nol­o­gy does an amaz­ing job of pro­tect­ing com­pa­ny assets, but it can be a step behind our adver­saries. This ulti­mate­ly leaves us with the last line of defense as our end users…but are our end users even aware that they have that respon­si­bil­i­ty and do they know what we are ask­ing them to defend and how? 

This pre­sen­ta­tion will share our jour­ney of mov­ing from the scare tac­tics approach of cyber secu­ri­ty into shed­ding some light on the chal­lenges that we face, what we are doing to pro­tect our assets and how the end user can help. Through lever­ag­ing a new approach to user aware­ness, some very inex­pen­sive train­ing soft­ware (~$100), and some unique incen­tives for par­tic­i­pa­tion, we have seen our end users become more cyber aware at work and at home. This has result­ed in an increase in report­ed phish­ing attempts and a reduc­tion in infect­ed machines. 

We’ve cre­at­ed short YouTube type videos with real life exam­ples that they can use to keep us cyber safe at work as well as keep them cyber safe at home. We’ve also offered some unique incen­tives for par­tic­i­pa­tion and have seen this change in approach result in our end users being more cyber aware.
