Information Security Awareness Training
Overview
There is no successful information security program without an effective information security awareness training program for all managers and employees of a company or an organization, that are usually the weakest link in information security.
If managers and employees do not understand the risks and the consequences, it is unlikely to comply with corporate policies. They will continue to cut corners and compromise security in the name of convenience.
Process owners and persons having access to systems and data must understand the cyber security threats, and they must learn what they can do to protect themselves, their firm or organization, and the critical infrastructure.
