I can’t believe it’s freakin’ Monday again. Seriously. When will this treadmill end?
If you joined us last week, you’ll know that we’re here to discuss all of those things you could be doing, but aren’t.
This week, short and sweet. Update your Intranet site.

I’m sure that all of you are running a lush security awareness program with a dedicated analyst who loves nothing better than jumping into the fray and updating the internal website / Intranet with all kinds of security related goodness on an hourly basis.
Or you’re like me and trying to remember how the heck to edit the damn Intranet page – I know I’m supposed to click something in my Notes Workspace, but for the life of me, I cannot remember where.
Which is a hint that I’ve let the content become stale and have therefore lost relevance.
(Sort of like how I managed to not post for an aggregate of about 85 days out of the last 90 and irritate the crap out of El Jefe.)
How to solve the problem:
- Set up an appointment with yourself to write some new content – 1 hour a week
- Don’t blow off the appointment because the person you’re meeting with is a bit of a jerk
- Actually write some new content, doodling the Van Halen logo is not considered “new content”
- Post the content on the Intranet site
- Frequently point people to your new content
- Include the link in your Internal email signature
- Lather
- Rinse
- Repeat
Or you can buy the content (hint: infosec writers come cheap – we’re all starving – please click an ad.)
Whatever you do – as is our focus here – do it. Repeatably. Always.
If you can get them to be on your side, if you can make the right thing the easy thing, you’ll have accomplished more than you can imagine in terms of real risk reduction – the kind that’s hard to apply metrics to.
