@cR0w @campuscodi No kidding. We’ve known for over a decade that more frequent training doesn’t improve outcomes. It’s reasonable to look at how much less frequent we can make it before outcomes suffer.

Feels like how password expiration was just made up as a starting point for further discussion, then it got carted around verbatim for decades.

Lessening security. LESSENING?

This can only be explained with "I hate America and Americans and want it destroyed and Americans to suffer."

THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION.

Trump hates America with psychotic passion.

These are bad people.

@campuscodi I suspect the training sucked and was a clueless person's purchase of a product from a company that makes lousy training products. The unfortunate implication is that this isn't being replaced by something effective.
