Security Awareness… Much Ado About Nothing

Two camps exist on the importance of Security Awareness in an organization. One camp feels it is a complete waste of time, money and effort to reduce a risk that will never be fully mitigated. The other camp feels it is crucial to securing a corporate environment, even though it will never be 100% effective. Many security awareness training programs concentrate on past breach scenarios or promote security policies, because as GI Joe would say…Knowing is half the battle. But is this the best way of promoting awareness?

This presentation will shed some light on the viewpoint of an organization versus the individual and how they differ. Knowing this will help you as a practitioner throw out the expensive 3rd party “Awareness” consultants and focus on what needs to be done. Proposed changes will also be made on how different controls and education itself needs to be re-evaluated.
