    I have been asked to put together a 1-1/2 day seminar to teach basic
    security to our corporate users. Class size would be 4 - 10. Audience
    would be a mix of liaison staff (our non-technical point of contact people
    in the field) and home office end-users. Goal is to send participants away
    knowing: rudimentary concepts and terminology; how to identify threats
    (considered broadly); who to contact with what information should they find
    one (and for liaisons, to be able to pass some of that knowledge on to
    others). I thought to condense a basic introduction from the US-CERT Cyber
    Security tips material, among other sources. I also thought that a live
    demonstration of a computer system being completely screwed up by some
    malware as a result of making some typical user security blunders might be
    a good attention-getter. I do know that there are already commercial
    courses available, but it is difficult to motivate our users to attend
    them, and they are not tailored to our corporate culture (probably those
    are related). Any ideas on the basic instruction, or pointers to
    particularly good sources to crib from? Any suggestions about the proposed
    demonstration? Has such a thing been done before? Thanks in advance.
