Many information security officers face a difficult task in educating their user base on proper security practices and procedures. Education is a key element of a good security practice and Microsoft has given us all a hand in this process.
The Security Awareness Program developed by Microsoft includes a white paper Key Considerations for Developing Effective Information and Training Programs and an End User Security Awareness presentation template and video, providing material to help articulate what is involved with building an information security awareness and training program to your management and peers within your company. One cool thing is a set of templates for various types of communications (emails, powerpoint, factsheets, etc.) which allow easy customization to your audience but help convey important security awareness topics.
The entire package is a 120MB download but it is well worth it.

Well worth it? I’m not so sure. It’s a set of generic templates but the content is weak. I guess it might help if you are starting from ground zero but there are much better options available in the marketplace.
