Training

Information Security training is the “KEY STONE” to a good security posture. Every security incident investigated from either inside or outside a corporation can be traced back to a lack of security training. A good Security training program can reduce loss, corruption, degradation and misuse of data and resources within a corporation.

        The Computer Security Act of 1987 required federal agencies to “provide for mandatory periodic training in computer security awareness and accepted computer practices of all employees who are involved with management, use, or operation of each federal computer system within or under the supervision of that agency.” The scope and goals of federal computer security awareness and training programs must implement this broad mandate. (Other federal requirements for computer security training are contained in OMB Circular A-130, Appendix III, and OPM regulations.)
