Information Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness

An organization's people, information, operations, and systems are critical assets. Protecting the safety, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these assets is essential to maintaining profitability, compliance, public image, and a competitive edge.

Companies face threats to their employees, systems, operations, and information every day. These threats include computer viruses, network attacks, fraud, industrial espionage, and even natural disasters.

Companies implement tools and procedures to protect against these threats and to comply with laws and regulations. Unfortunately, even the best tools and procedures can be defeated by a user who is unaware how to use them, or how important security is.

The Smart Way to Security

In order for the organization's security program to operate effectively, all employees must help the organization to secure its assets. Security Awareness provides the greatest return on investment, and has the greatest positive impact on a company's security. The cost of a Security Awareness Program is quickly realized when tools and procedures are followed, and employees understand how to be more secure.

Consider the quotes from the following security experts:

"There is probably no more effective countermeasure, dollar for dollar, than a good security awareness program."

"Although it is important for an awareness program to ensure that the right things are covered, the critical success factor for an awareness program is the delivery methods. The advice must be simple. It must be made personal...Advice that is realistic, understandable, actionable, and repeated is useful."

Ira Winkler, "Spies Among Us",
President of Information Security Advisors Group,
and author of the books "Spies Among Us",
"Zen and the Art of Information Security",
and "Corporate Espionage"

"There is only one way to keep your product plans safe and that is by having a trained, aware, and a conscientious workforce. This involves training on the policies and procedures, but also - and probably even more important - an ongoing awareness program."

Kevin Mitnick, "The Art of Deception",
founder of Mitnick Security Consulting,
and author of the books "The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders & Deceivers"
and "The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security".
