Why Your Business Needs a Security Awareness Program

Do you have a formal plan for educating employees about ongoing IBM i and IT security threats?

by Carol Woodbury

This article is excerpted from IBM i Security Administration and Compliance: Second Edition, chapter 20.

A security awareness program is an official or recognized project, typically under the “jurisdiction” of the Chief Security Officer (CSO), that is created for the purpose of educating individuals such as the organization’s employees, contractors, vendors, and volunteers about the organization’s security policies. The education should explain how the policies relate to each individual, and it should be performed on an ongoing basis.
