This is a brilliant little video on IT Security.
What I like about it is that it doesn’t just tell you what not to do to stay safe, but rather it shows you the consequences of not doing the right things.
Whether you are letting someone into your office, allowing them borrow your badge, leaving your computer unsecured, posting your passwords, and more–this short animated video shows you how these vulnerabilities will be exploited.
It is also effective how they show “Larry” doing these security no-no’s with signs everywhere saying don’t do this.
Finally, the video does a nice job summing up key points at the end to reinforce what you learned.
I think that while this is simpler than many longer and more detailed security videos that I have seen, in a way it is more successful in delivering the message in a practical, down-to-earth approach that anyone can quickly learn core basic practices from.
Moreover, this video could be expanded to teach additional useful IT security tips, such as password strengthening, social engineering, and much more.
I believe that even Larry, the unsuspecting office guy, can learn his lesson here. 😉
