Why Security Teams Subscribe
Consistent Reinforcement Works
Security managers use Employee Security Connection because it helps reinforce important security responsibilities throughout the year, not just during annual training, onboarding, or periodic briefings. Each quarterly issue gives employees, contractors, and supporting personnel practical reminders about the responsibilities they are expected to understand, remember, and apply.
Efficiency and Productivity Matters
By providing a consistent, ready-to-distribute quarterly awareness campaign, Employee Security Connection reduces the burden on security teams and program owners who have to wear many different hats and need to juggle sometimes competing priorities.
Inspection Peace of Mind
Each quarterly issue is itself a a dated PDF record of recurring, high quality security awareness communication ready internal review and inspection.
Employees Love It
Our customers are constantly telling us about the positive feedback they receive from the people in their program about the content in the Employee Security Connection. Isn’t that the point?
