Security awareness is as essential for securing any network as a firewall or backup. The possibilities are numerous, but what resonates best with employees?

Podcasts are typically aimed at the general public. In contrast, an IntraCast is a podcast specifically tailored to the needs and requirements of a company's employees, usually accessible only to these employees. Rüdiger Trost and Tobias Schrödel offer IntraCasts on the topic of IT security. The name IntraCast is a blend of Intranet and Podcast. A specialized IT security awareness podcast is suitable for any company looking to keep the topic of IT security current and in the minds of its employees. IntraCast episodes can stand alone or accompany other training methods concurrently. There are no restrictions based on size or industry. An IntraCast production is a high-quality audio product. It covers the topics requested by the customer, is spoken by two specialists, and is subsequently mixed, edited, and made available. Therefore, the price consists of a base amount and the desired reach. Our goal is to offer three episodes to a mid-sized company within the price range of a movie ticket with a drink and popcorn per employee. This price range decreases as more employees are targeted. We discuss with the customer in advance which awareness topics are currently crucial and need to be communicated. Tobias Schrödel and Rüdiger Trost have both been working in the IT security industry for several decades and can assist in finding topics. Most customers make the podcast exclusively available to their employees through their intranet. Otherwise, podcast downloads are protected by a password and optionally by additional access controls. It is ensured that classic podcast apps work, and no extra software needs to be installed. An IntraCast is the ideal companion to other awareness activities, as we like to integrate our content with ongoing campaigns, provide additional information, or answer frequently asked questions in other training formats. Since IntraCast is based on standardized technologies, each episode can be listened to through almost any podcast app or browser. Whether accessed via PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone, it does not matter. Episodes can also be downloaded and listened to offline. Access restrictions can be set upon request, ensuring that only your employees can listen, and not third parties. Topics and desired content can be discussed in a workshop beforehand. For standard topics (e.g., password policies, phishing emails), we only inquire about your internal guidelines to speak with you "with one voice." After the initial alignment and definition of topics, the first episode can usually be delivered within a week.What is an IntraCast?

Finally, the IT topic is explained for us users. Before, I didn't understand why and what I should pay attention to!
I have repeatedly tried to get the topic of "security" into the heads of our employees, but I haven't managed it as smoothly as Tobias and Rüdiger. We are looking forward to the next episode!
