Timothy, I might be able to help on the security training (I am a vendor). I created a comprehensive awareness course just for universities, addressing staff, faculty, students, and vendors. Branded, customized, and very affordable. Be happy to chat. Neal.------------------Neal O'FarrellFounder, Think ...

Cybersecurity and mental health webinar

This might be a little off topic, but maybe not. I recently launched a free workshop called Hacking Your Brain Health, and how adopting a hacker mindset is a great way to get a better grip on brain and mental health. I think those working in security will immediately get all the similarities, like how ...

Sponsored Security Awareness Training?

Hi everyone, I wanted to revisit an idea I suggested a while back to make security awareness more affordable for higher Ed. Affordable as in free. As the human risk increases, and especially amongst students, and budget challenges make training students tough, I'm starting to get some interest in the ...

In a previous life, as head of the Identity Theft Council, I dealt with hundreds of cases like this, often referred by wealth management companies and often very demanding individuals.

David, I've used this service, and tracked it since it started. It's very limited simply because of the amount of information that can be out there about all of us, and how difficult it can be to do any significant scrub. And especially as most of the hundreds of brokers simply ignore the removal requests. ...

Again, not wanting to overdo the reply to group but I wondered if that's the issue, that by default the system doesn't automatically forward a new message or notify the user that there's a message waiting. So they have no idea that I responded to them. ------------------------------ Neal O'Farrell Founder ...

I might have been the one who started the recent uptick in replies to all, although it wasn't my intention to upset anyone, and it did end up generating some very interesting discussions. But I have noticed something that might be contributing to the inclination to reply to all instead of individually. ...

Thanks to everyone who enquired about the NCAM PSA video, and here's the link to the first version of the video. https://vimeo.com/748763862/3795dc5d3b The style is very different. No actors or drama, just me making a personal plea to whatever audience you're targeting – staff, faculty, or students. ...

I've unleashed a beast but a good one - hopefully. Take a look at this link and the video format.

Thanks Mike, great point. If anyone wants to contact me directly instead of through the list, my email address is neal@thinksecurityfirst.co. I can also share examples of what a logo will look like if you want to add it to the video. There's no charge for the video or the logo. I just think we all need ...

With our approach, you can train as many students as you want, as often as you want, in lots of different ways, at no extra cost. And it's training they'll get, and not roll their eyes at.
