Security Awareness

Category: Security Awareness — DISC @ 6:12 pm

Security awareness is the knowledge and attitude members of an organization possess regarding the protection of the physical, and especially informational, assets of that organization. Many organizations require formal security awareness training for all workers when they join the organization and periodically thereafter, usually annually.

Topics covered in security awareness training may include:

The nature of sensitive material and physical assets they may come in contact with, such as trade secrets, privacy concerns and government classified information
Employee and contractor responsibilities in handling sensitive information, including review of employee nondisclosure agreements
Requirements for proper handling of sensitive material in physical form, including marking, transmission, storage and destruction
Proper methods for protecting sensitive information on computer systems, including password policy and use of two-factor authentication
Other computer security concerns, including malware, phishing, social engineering, etc.
Workplace security, including building access, wearing of security badges, reporting of incidents, forbidden articles, etc.
Consequences of failure to properly protect information, including potential loss of employment, economic consequences to the firm, damage to individuals whose private records are divulged, and possible civil and criminal penalties

Being security aware means you understand that there is the potential for some people to deliberately or accidentally steal, damage, or misuse the data that is stored within a company’s computer systems and throughout its organization. Therefore, it would be prudent to support the assets of the institution (information, physical, and personal) by trying to stop that from happening.

According to the European Network and Information Security Agency, ‘Awareness of the risks and available safeguards is the first line of defence for the security of information systems and networks.’

‘The focus of Security Awareness consultancy should be to achieve a long term shift in the attitude of employees towards security, whilst promoting a cultural and behavioral change within an organisation. Security policies should be viewed as key enablers for the organisation, not as a series of rules restricting the efficient working of your business.’

If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don’t understand the problems and you don’t understand the technology. – Bruce Schneier
