Security Connection Is A Game-Changer For Your Program
Solve Your Awareness Training Problem and Transform Your Program
Now you can shift your security awareness program into high gear with NSI’s Security Connection – a game-changing, quarterly awareness service designed to up-level your security outreach.
It’s an investment you’ll never regret, one that could be worth hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars to your organization by ensuring your facility’s clearance isn’t jeopardized by preventable security incidents and lax employee behavior.
“We subscribe to NSI’s Security Connection because it educates our employees on numerous security awareness topics critical to creating a strong security culture. Not only do the employees learn something new; but so does the security staff. Utilizing the Security Connection has also helped free up time to work on other requirements.” – Holly Reynolds, FSO, Trident Systems
I received this comment from an employee that receives our Security Connection: “I’ve spend four decades complying with government and contractor “click-and-read-to -comply” training that seems to just check somebody’s block. But I must say, for the very first time, I find myself wanting more! The articles are concise, broken down into to easily reviewable content that pairs timely news on actual threat incidents giving me some personal ownership and interest in thwarting such attacks. It is presented in an eye-catching format and, most importantly, the article encapsulates a wide range of security threats pervasive in today’s work AND home life. For the first time in four decades, I find myself saying, “I look forward to clicking on next quarter’s content!” – Kyle Mckay, FSO, FlightSafety
One & Done Isn’t Good Enough
You checked the security awareness requirement box for NISPOM. You’re all set, right? Not so fast! Your employees need more than posters and slogans if you want them to take security seriously. They need a consistent outreach of relatable, concise and informative content.
We all know that the “one and done” approach to awareness doesn’t work, yet many organizations still do it because expanding the security awareness program is too daunting or time-consuming. It doesn’t have to be if you have the Security Connection in your corner.

My company has been receiving Security Connection for many years. The content focuses on helping employees understand current risk in the US, world, and tips to identify insider threats. The quarterly issues exceeds the NISPOM compliance requirement and focuses on keeping security in front of the readers. A big plus, it also focusses on security at home and keeping our personal life safe. I highly recommend adding Security Connection to your security program. I received this comment from an employee that receives our Security Connection: “I’ve spend four decades complying with government and contractor “click-and-read-to -comply” training that seems to just check somebody’s block.
