Pilot Deployment, Message Refinement, Final Deployment

To help ensure the overall success of your Cyber
Security Awareness Program, you should begin by
testing it on a select group of students in a pilot
program. This approach allows you to target specific
groups with content designed for their level of
computer proficiency. Additionally, you might
decide to tailor messages for different student
audiences based upon their job function, role or
department.

The schedule can be based on your student’s needs
as identified through a risk assessment analysis or it
can be based on best practices and standards.
Establish a schedule with the most advantageous
frequency which will allow you to educate or interact
with your students and smooth the path for
subsequent communications which will build upon
previous lessons. Engage the student with more
“touch-points” and make security awareness a
continuum with a memorable message.
