One small step for Restricted Intelligence…
…One giant leap for entertainment-based awareness training. If I am running around the office like a 12-year-old on Red Bull, it’s because we are less than a week a way from our appearance at the UK’s National Space Centre, right here in our hometown of Leicester. The East Midlands Chamber of Commerce is holding a cybersecurity […]
Looking Forwards and Back: A Peek at Series 4 of “Restricted Intelligence”
On June 7, we launched series 4 of “Restricted Intelligence“. Since four seasons is an impressive achievement for any production – especially one only available online and via subscription – we decided to throw ourselves a little launch party. For better or worse (better at the time, worse the next morning), things got a little rowdy. […]
And the winner for best user awareness campaign is…
I have been to over 10 events this year alone – from Infosec, to smaller regional meetings of other information security related professional “bodies”. The names might change (although there’s the inevitable overlap of familiar faces) but the one issue that comes up again and again, in presentations, in conversations and online, is the PEOPLE […]
Your Attention, Please
It’s 9:00 am on a Monday morning. There are about a million other places you’d rather being than a training session, but here you are. The Training Program Specialist gets up, fumbles with his laptop, searches desperately on the cluttered desktop for the PowerPoint, finds it double clicks and… Still loading. Lots of images. Hold […]
Seize (Parental) Control!
A recent article in SC Magazine reported UK adults are clueless when it comes to finding advice about how to protect themselves online. Clueless. Over two thirds (67 percent) of respondents say that they are fairly concerned about the risks of identity fraud when using online services, and 21 percent are very concerned. Only a […]
Twist and Shout Now Have A Podcast
Really? A podcast? You may ask. Hasn’t the Second Wave of the Podcast already happened? Well, yes. You would be right about that, however… We’re never ones to rush into something until we’re absolutely sure we (and the rest of the world) are ready. Funny, though. It’s taken us, who love to talk at length […]
Putting Your Stamp On Restricted Intelligence
Work life can be frustrating. We understand the pain of returning to your desk to discover that ONCE AGAIN Gavin from Accounts has disturbed the peace of your Stationary Kingdom by stealing a pen. So here’s something to make the day a little easier… One of the cool things about our “campaign in a box” […]
A Prescription for the Best Medicine
In San Bernadino, California, hackers sought ransom from two county hospitals (read the full story here) while in Kentucky, hackers threw a hospital into an “internal state of emergency,” requesting ransom (read the full story here). All of this just weeks after Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center paid hackers US$17,000 in ransom to regain access to […]
Restricted Intelligence Season 4 is coming – and this time, it’s personal.
The most exciting part of the year for me (apart from Christmas with my kids) is the creation and production of the next Restricted Intelligence season. Talking to customers about “the list”, getting feedback on cast members, scenarios, and deciding where we will be shooting it (India one day – promise) 😉 and then getting […]
