Better SETA, Less Work: Strategies to Improve Your Security Awareness Program

Martin McNair

Security & Emergency Planning, DOJ

Engagement. Efficiency. Real Impact.

Security awareness training is required—but that doesn’t mean it has to be repetitive, time-consuming, or ineffective. A well-designed Security Education, Training, and Awareness (SETA) program drives real behavior change while reducing workload on security professionals. The challenge? Many SETA programs struggle with engagement, sustainability, and leadership buy-in.

This session delivers practical, field-tested strategies to modernize and streamline SETA programs, ensuring better security awareness, improved compliance, and less effort for security teams.

Key Takeaways

Building a High-Impact Awareness Program – Practical engagement strategies that actually change security behaviors.
Automation & Pre-Built Resources – How to reduce manual workload while keeping training effective.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid – Why many SETA programs fail to engage employees—and how to fix it.
Proving Impact with Metrics – How to measure success, demonstrate effectiveness to leadership, and secure ongoing support.

Security professionals don’t just need another compliance-driven training program—they need a sustainable, effective approach that reinforces security behaviors without overloading security teams. This session provides exactly that.
