Cosaint Adds Automatic Security Reminders To Its Hosted Training Solution
Cosaint Inc. has added an automatic Security Reminder Service(TM) (SRS) to its hosted security awareness training programs. The SRS is an automatic e-mail system built into the Cosaint Certify(TM) Learning Management System. Now, with a single click, the manager of an organization can establish a program of monthly e-mail security reminders to all students. Ideal for satisfying the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule, the SRS is well-suited to any environment where information security is a concern.
Mount Vernon, WA (PRWEB) May 26, 2004 -- Cosaint Inc. (www.cosaint.net), a Mount Vernon (WA) based company specializing in security awareness training, is pleased to announce the addition of an automatic Security Reminder Service(TM) (SRS) to its hosted security awareness training programs.
Security awareness training doesn't stop after the first lesson. It's important to continue to remind students of their responsibilities and what threats to watch out for. And one of the most cost-effective ways to do this is through a program of regular e-mails.
Cosaint's Security Reminder Service(TM) (SRS) is an automatic e-mail system built into the Cosaint Certify(TM) Learning Management System. Now, with a single click, the manager of an organization can establish a program of monthly e-mail security reminders to all students.
To make it easy to start, Cosaint supplies a default set of reminders covering topics such as:
- Awareness of E-Mail Attachments
- Choosing and Managing Strong Passwords
- Phony Phone Calls and E-Mails ("Phishing")
- Strangers in the Workplace
- Destruction of Sensitive Information
- Security Out of the Office
- Secure Use of E-Mail
- Software and Music on the Internet
- The Importance of Patching Software
However, managers can customize or replace these reminders with their own content to meet specific business needs if they so desire. The SRS also uses the student list already imported into the Cosaint Certify(TM) Learning Management System to further reduce the burden on the managers.
Steve Addison, VP of Business Development for Cosaint says: "We originally designed the SRS to meet the needs of our healthcare customers where the HIPAA Security Rule requires all members of staff to receive periodic security reminders. But we quickly realized that it was such a valuable addition to our web-based training that we decided to build it into the hosted training solution that we provide and make it available to all of our clients. Now, you can get a comprehensive training program AND reminder system from one source."
Availability
The Cosaint Security Reminder Service is available today as a free component of the Cosaint Certify hosted training solution. All accounts with active students can use the SRS as part of their training program.
