Security Mentor Releases Core Security Awareness Training Curriculum
Security Mentor Core addresses essential security awareness needs;
Powerful new web training package to debut at RSA 2009.
Pacific Grove, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2009 -- Security Mentor®, Inc, a pioneer in online security awareness training, will announce a new core curriculum at the 2009 RSA Conference in San Francisco April 20-24.
Security Mentor's web-based, interactive lessons are brief, frequent, and focused.
Security Mentor Core is designed to train employees in the most critical security awareness skills quickly, economically and effectively. Like the full Security Mentor curriculum of 48 lessons (Security Mentor Comprehensive), Core follows Security Mentor's innovative training model of brief, frequent and focused online lessons. Each lesson takes full advantage of rich media to ensure maximum impact and is instructionally designed to be effective and memorable. Each trainee's progress is tracked for measurable results.
12 Critical Security Topics, 1 Core Package:
"We analyzed the top security issues facing enterprises today and identified 12 need-to-know topics," said Marie White, Ph.D., a Security Mentor founder and defense industry security veteran. "We can now offer these courses as a package. Security Mentor Core meets customers' most pressing needs at an economical price."
Topics covered by Security Mentor Core include: Email Security, Web Security, Mobile Security, Passwords, Social Networking, Office Security, Reporting Incidents and more.
Security Awareness in your Inbox:
A curriculum of brief, interactive, rich media lessons are delivered through Security Mentor's website. Employees no longer have to remember to take training; they receive a weekly email linking them to the latest lesson.
Because lessons are short and frequent, Security Mentor security awareness training keeps security at forefront of employees' minds, supporting the development of a culture of security.
Each lesson focuses on one specific subject, which allows employees to master the material in less than 7 minutes. The interactive multimedia content is engaging for all users, supporting different learning styles. A learning management system tracks and measures each person's progress through the lesson. That allows managers to know that employees have received the information - and learned it.
