DOE Labs Face Dynamic Threats
-- CRI aims to reduce "threat profile" by focusing on the individual
Dynamic threats are best controlled through individual human performance. Getting your people to do the right thing is the single most important aspect of information security.
Phishing attacks are not directed at organizations. They are directed at individuals. The behavior of the individual laboratory employee will determine the overall vulnerability of the entire Laboratory.
There are 30,000 highly educated, talented, and focused individuals at our Nation's labs. Many have been conducting the world's most sophisticated research in the scientific and technological community.
How do you, as an Information Security Manager, break through to the individual employee? We all know people can over time become "jaded" to a particular message.
Welcome to Shady. 
CRI delivers an interactive and fun training program focused on the individual and what each employee can do to reduce the threat profile.
The training knocks the dust off the traditional cyber awareness program and uses a combination of audience participation, pop-culture Americana, lasers, cartoons, and light-hearted jest to engage the audience and demonstrate the challenges and potential threats faced by IT departments every day in every organization around the world, not only from external threats, but from internal threats as well.
The star of the show is “Shady,” a black-cloaked character who appears in nearly every portion of the training program, reminding us that there are shady characters out there who might want to play mischief, steal our secrets, or even do us harm.
This Individual Awareness Campaign is the first step of CRI's four-step Information Security Framework available to DOE's National Laboratories:
-- Individual Awareness Campaign
-- Lifecycle Alignment
-- IT Architecture and Governance
-- Risk-based Program Management
