This article describes a dream many IT Security professionals have had – positive response from awareness training.  For the record, it does not have to be a dream.  It can be reality.  I have seen it happen, so do not give up.  Just last evening, I was speaking at a gathering of business professionals and I received motivated, engaging and intelligent questions from smart people actively seeking to improve their IT security situations.  End users and business leaders want to be trained and educated.  Keep training and sharing.
