Security Awareness Training and Education (SATE): A Survey of DoD installations

Abstract : This report presents the results of a survey designed to describe the shape of current Security Awareness Training and Education (SATE) programs in DoD, focusing on the military services. Overall, the security representatives who were interviewed rated their SATE programs as moderately successful. However, five areas are identified where modest changes could improve the effectiveness of such programs. They are: instructional media enhancements, security manager training, SATE policy and requirements, security manager support, and security inspections. Recommendations in each of the five areas are presented.
