Creative security awareness materials on tap

NoticeBored delivers more than just a bunch of awareness materials every month - it embodies a unique co-operative approach to security awareness.  We research and develop high-quality “camera-ready” security awareness materials for you, leaving you free to concentrate on interacting with your employees. 

“A well-trained, well-informed workforce is one of the most powerful weapons in an information security manager’s arsenal” said the UK Government.  Unfortunately, though, many information security managers are simply too busy dealing with urgent security issues to put sufficient energy into security education, training and awareness.  Writing effective content for an awareness program or for security awareness training can be a distracting chore and is usually a low priority.

Security awareness, training and education activities are often funded from information security management or training budgets.  Professional training courses on technical information security topics typically soak up a significant amount of the budget leaving little for the remainder.  Security awareness often ends up being someone’s part-time job.

NoticeBored to the rescue!  Information security awareness is what we do.  We concentrate our resources on researching the awareness topics and preparing high quality professional awareness materials.  Our qualified and experienced authors create a comprehensive electronic package of ready-to-use content for awareness programs every month.

NoticeBored helps employees climb the awareness ladder through creative awareness-raising materials and fun activities that go well beyond the traditional approach.  All in all, NoticeBored is a truly innovative and cost-effective product.

Continuous, ongoing security awareness

NoticeBored covers a different information security topic every month. With a rolling security awareness program, there is always something new and eye-catching.  Breaking security news stories are raised in the newsletter, highlighting information security stories behind the headlines.  New information security threats and vulnerabilities are covered more-or-less as they emerge, making the materials highly topical and directly relevant to the real world.

NIST says “awareness presentations must be on-going, creative, and motivational, with the objective of focusing the learner’s attention so that the learning will be incorporated into conscious decision-making.”  NoticeBored’s continuous drip-feed approach puts old-fashioned one-off or sporadic security awareness activities to shame.  Month-by-month, NoticeBored covers all the key information security issues and controls through a broad range of interesting subjects.  Your employees receive information and advice in formats that suit their needs with each awareness message reinforcing the next.  Awareness programs using NoticeBored are topical, relevant and memorable.  Instead of being dull and boring, information security becomes a dynamic, interesting and engaging learning experience for the whole organization with NoticeBored.

Creating security culture through teamwork

We are often told how important it is to “establish a security culture” through a security awareness, training and education program.  Its easy enough to say but rather harder to achieve.  If you have been subjected to ineffective, boring security awareness sessions, sat down to plan an awareness program from scratch, or if you have actually set up and run an awareness program (perhaps as part of your ISO/IEC 27002 Information Security Management System), you will probably appreciate just how difficult this really is.  Security awareness is far from simple.
