Security Awareness Training by Fortinet

Pro’s

  • Interesting opening slide which, of course, relates to malware that can attack a system. Good font and color scheme choices.
  • The “professional” color scheme continues throughout the presentation.
  • Solid introduction “Agenda” opening – sets the stage for the Security Awareness seminar/class material.
  • Good translation from scenario to actual cost to an organization (Slide #9).
  • Good use of an acronym for memorization purposes (Slide #12).
  • Excellent coverage of advance concepts (e.g. Slides #17 – #21).
  • Excellent use of definitions that are spread throughout the presentation (e.g. Slides #22 and #30) as opposed to being located in just one section.
  • Some superior illustrations are represented (Slide #32).

Con’s

  • No photos present in the presentation. This subtracts, somewhat, from the overall presentation style.
  • Graphs/Charts (e.g. Slides #56 and #57) are too complex to be easily incorporated into some Security Awareness training class.
  • Fuzzy illustrations (e.g. Slides #21 and #42) that make their points less clear.
  • Some text material is too advanced for employees that are new to the topic. (e.g. Slide #46).
  • No questions, regarding Security Awareness, are available at the end of the PowerPoint.

Information Security Training by Wilfrid Laurier University

Pro’s

  • Excellent use of humor (Slides #14 and #15 – taken from “Dilbert”) highlights the problem with choosing simplistic passwords that can easily be cracked by a 3rd party, thus compromising your system’s security.
  • After the password-related humor, password suggestions are presented as possible solutions (Slide #16).
  • Very helpful “Do’s and Don’ts” (Slide #18) that pertain to IT security issues.
  • Easy-to-understand system configuration instructions (e.g. Slide #10).

Con’s

  • A “bland” color scheme and format make this presentation look like it was done by an amateur.
  • Shortage of material (only 28 slides) could have been significantly enhanced with additional information.
  • Too much text (Slide #20) leads to too much boring reading in the Security presentation.
  • This Security PowerPoint (Slide #28) has no quiz at the end that would initiate audience participation and solidify knowledge.

Information Security Awareness by Mount Auburn Hospital

Pro’s

  • There is information that is provided that relates to the appropriate HIPPA regulation regarding refresher training (Slide #35).
  • There is a re-cap quiz associated with this presentation (Slide #35).
  • Comprehensive “potential threat” coverage (Slides #10 – #21).
  • Detailed sections regarding how to protect your computer’s data at home, as well as at work.

Con’s

  • No photos are used that would have lent more credibility to the Mount Auburn Hospital Security Awareness training PowerPoint.
  • Some of the clipart (e.g. Slide #19) is not only inappropriate, but too unprofessional for this PowerPoint training presentation.
  • Some of slides contain too much text (e.g. Slides #31 – #34), which tends to confuse the point that is being illustrated.
  • A different organization, using this PowerPoint Presentation, would need to change some proprietary information in the presentation, such as the IT Help Desk phone number on slide #17.

Security Awareness Training by HIMSS Louisiana Chapter

Pro’s

  • An attempt was made to elicit viewer interest through the use of clipart on nearly every slide.
  • Attempt at humor (Slide #20) can provide a boost in the level of training interest and “recapture” the attention of the trainees.
  • Overall, the level of training is simplified in order to relate to those with less technical experience.

Con’s

  • Overall amateurish look through the use of cartoonish clipart and no professional photos used.
  • Incredibly poor “Agenda” (Slide #2) that describes nothing, while trying to be “clever”.
  • Some of the slides (e.g. Slide #27) are a bit “too simplistic” (“Negatives = Proof that learning did not occur.”)
  • The brevity of the presentation (30 slides) limits the amount of information that can be given.
  • The acronym on Slide #29 is not very useful for purposes of memorization
  • No Security Awareness training questions and answers at the conclusion of the PowerPoint.

IT Security Awareness by NVCC

Pro’s

  • The “Question and Answer” format makes the presented material easier to understand.
  • The COV ITRM Standard SEC2001-01.1 is addressed (Slide #2), which includes “Security Awareness”.
  • Resources provided at the end – but they would need to be customized for a different organization.
  • A rare description on how training should be provided (Slides #9 and #10).

Con’s

  • No photos or imaginative clipart are included with this particular PowerPoint training tool.
  • The simplistic look of this PowerPoint Presentation shows a lack of professional design that would call for more attention through its perceived credibility.
  • The focus of the presentation is limited to IT security and, even then, some topics are omitted.
  • The “Goals” (listed on Slide #2) are too limited, although they are covered within the slides.
  • Some spelling issues (Slide #8).
  • The Northern Virginia Community College Security Awareness PowerPoint would greatly benefit from a trainee quiz at the end.

Security Training and Threat Awareness by Pedraza

Pro’s

  • This C-TPAT Security Awareness presentation encompasses more than just computer security. It also extends to “suspicious” workplace visitors, suspicious packages/objects, activities considered suspicious, placing visitor controls and identifying employees.
  • Appropriate placement of high quality photos add to the professional appearance and training interest generation.
  • Clipart is well-selected and placed so that it adds to the Security Awareness PowerPoint’s level of quality.
  • Good use of C-TPAT’s presentation color formatting to highlight various training points.
  • Good opportunity for a review with Slide #46.
  • Suggestions are provided (Slide #1) in order to create a customized PowerPoint Presentation for one’s own organization.

Con’s

  • Reuse of the same photos (e.g. Slides #9 – #11 & #20 – #21) subtracts from the presentation’s consistent level of viewer interest.
  • Illustration (Slide #15) suffers from cramped, difficult to read, labeling text because of poorly executed picture compression.
  • No re-cap Security Awareness quiz (Slide #28) that would serve to augment information retention.
