CONDUCTING CORPORATE INFORMATION SECURITY AWARENESS
PROGRAMMES |
|
Information security awareness
and training for employees is today an imperative,
because employees are the weakest link in the
information security chain. They can easily be
'socially engineered' (or deceived) to part with
their passwords, or perform acts unwittingly,
which may permit outsiders entry into the company's
IT system. Indeed, it is a common catchphrase
in the hacker underworld that "amateurs hack
systems, whereas professionals hack people".
Surveys point to the fact that 70% of security
breaches are perpetrated internally, often by
disgruntled employees. Such inside attacks are
potentially very costly. Clearly, information
security is largely a 'people issue'. The aim
of this service is to spread information security
awareness and skills through security awareness
programs for employees.
