        	'Organizations determine the appropriate content of security training based on the assigned roles and 
        	responsibilities of individuals and the specific security requirements of organizations and the information 
        	systems to which personnel have authorized access. In addition, organizations provide enterprise architects,
        	information system developers, software developers, acquisition/procurement officials, information system 
        	managers, system/network administrators, personnel conducting configuration management and auditing 
        	activities, personnel performing independent verification and validation activities, security control 
        	assessors, and other personnel having access to system-level software, adequate security-related technical 
        	training specifically tailored for their assigned duties. Comprehensive role-based training addresses 
        	management, operational, and technical roles and responsibilities covering physical, personnel, and 
        	technical safeguards and countermeasures. Such training can include for example, policies, procedures, 
        	tools, and artifacts for the organizational security roles defined. Organizations also provide the training 
        	necessary for individuals to carry out their responsibilities related to operations and supply chain 
        	security within the context of organizational information security programs. Role-based security training 
        	also applies to contractors providing services to federal agencies.'

        	'\nAT-3 (1)\nENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS\nThe organization provides [Assignment: organization-defined personnel or
        	roles] with initial and [Assignment: organization-defined frequency] training in the employment and 
        	operation of environmental controls.\nEnvironmental controls include, for example, fire suppression and 
        	detection devices/systems, sprinkler systems, handheld fire extinguishers, fixed fire hoses, smoke 
        	detectors, temperature/humidity, HVAC, and power within the facility. Organizations identify personnel with 
        	specific roles and responsibilities associated with environmental controls requiring specialized training.
        	\nPE-1\nPE-13\nPE-14\nPE-15\nAT-3 (2)\nPHYSICAL SECURITY CONTROLS\nThe organization provides [Assignment: 
        	organization-defined personnel or roles] with initial and [Assignment: organization-defined frequency] 
        	training in the employment and operation of physical security controls.\nPhysical security controls include,
        	for example, physical access control devices, physical intrusion alarms, monitoring/surveillance equipment, 
        	and security guards (deployment and operating procedures). Organizations identify personnel with specific 
        	roles and responsibilities associated with physical security controls requiring specialized training.\nPE-
        	2\nPE-3\nPE-4\nPE-5\nAT-3 (3)\nPRACTICAL EXERCISES\nThe organization includes practical exercises in 
        	security training that reinforce training objectives.\nPractical exercises may include, for example, 
        	security training for software developers that includes simulated cyber attacks exploiting common software 
        	vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflows), or spear/whale phishing attacks targeted at senior 
        	leaders/executives. These types of practical exercises help developers better understand the effects of such
        	vulnerabilities and appreciate the need for security coding standards and processes.\nAT-3 (4)\nSUSPICIOUS 
        	COMMUNICATIONS AND ANOMALOUS SYSTEM BEHAVIOR\nThe organization provides training to its personnel on [
        	Assignment: organization-defined indicators of malicious code] to recognize suspicious communications and 
        	anomalous behavior in organizational information systems.\nA well-trained workforce provides another 
        	organizational safeguard that can be employed as part of a defense-in-depth strategy to protect 
        	organizations against malicious code coming in to organizations via email or the web applications. ersonnel 
        	are trained to look for indications of potentially suspicious email (e.g., receiving an unexpected email, 
        	receiving an email containing strange or poor grammar, or receiving an email from an unfamiliar sender but 
        	who appears to be from a known sponsor or contractor). Personnel are also trained on how to respond to such 
        	suspicious email or web communications (e.g., not opening attachments, not clicking on embedded web links, 
        	and checking the source of email addresses). For this process to work effectively, all organizational 
        	personnel are trained and made aware of what constitutes suspicious communications. Training personnel on 
        	how to recognize anomalous behaviors in organizational information systems can potentially provide early 
        	warning for the presence of malicious code. Recognition of such anomalous behavior by organizational 
        	personnel can supplement automated malicious code detection and protection tools and systems employed by 
        	organizations.\n'

        Running tests
        -------------
        
        With python 2.7 (on a Mac):
        (Note: you may need to include 'sudo' on a Mac, but that could also just be me)
        
        	sudo python setup.py test
