About this session

Security awareness programmes frequently seem like the bastard child of security programmes. While awareness programmes exist, they tend to get the minimum budget and support required to run at a perceived acceptable level.

To correct this situation, awareness professionals need to understand that they are security professionals first and foremost. Their job is to reduce loss. While being a user champion sounds noble, that is not the job. It is also not mutually exclusive of reducing loss.

This presentation combines a variety of topics related to the security awareness profession, including metrics, security programme structure and awareness goals. We also discuss how to take a bigger role in the security programme and why you deserve more for your efforts.
