Information Security at its Best
Information Security at its Best
The easiest way to to understand security awareness is to break it down in to it’s very definitions
Awareness: having or showing realisation, perception, or knowledge
Security: measures taken to secure against attack, crime, espionage or sabotage etc.
So we can deduce that Security Awareness is having the realisation and knowledge to take the appropriate measures to help secure against threats to the organisation or individual alike.
Being security aware means you understand that there is the potential for someone to deliberately or accidentally steal, damage, or misuse sensitive data that is stored throughout the organization. Therefore, it is prudent to highlight the necessity of managing these potential threats on all fronts (information, physical, and personal) by trying to stop them from occurring in the first place. 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, networks and infrastructure.’, a sentiment strongly supported by Exsatus. Many organisations require formal security awareness training for all employees, not only for when they join the organisation but periodically, usually Bi-annually.
Some of the topics covered in our security awareness training talks include:
The focus of Security Awareness should be to achieve a long term shift in the attitude of employees towards security as a whole, whilst promoting a cultural and behavioural change within an organisation.
