Wow today is my luck day! It looks like I am also going to be our company's Security Officer (I just hope I don't have to wear a goofy looking uniform:-) )

I need to do Information Security Awareness Training for my company and I'm looking for anything already developed which I could build upon. Anyone have anything they would be willing to share? :bigwave:

Anyne have anything that might help?

Yeah,I know of something and we provide it....But we don't share it , we teach it.

Information security is a big topic. The content of your awareness training sessions depend on a lot of factors:

- business requirements
- legal requirements
- risks to your information assets
- culture of your organization
- knowledge capital

I can give you a run-of-the-mill training session but it may not fit your organization's specific needs. For example, my courseware on encryption may not be useful for you for the simple fact that you do not use this kind of technology.

My advice: revisit the results of your risk assessment or if you have not done this, identify business, contractual and legal requirements of your organization for information security and use this as a basis for your training courses.

1. You may want to understand who your target audience is .... top management or general end users.

2. Based on the above decide on what topics you want to educate them in. Top management could be made aware of say policies in practice and show graphs on how security is being manged in the organization. End users could be made aware of just things they need to do to be secure.

3. Don't make it too long or too technical... people will sleep or just not follow... examples do help.
