Policy Summary An awareness and training program is vital to an organization’s success, as it consists of (a) developing IT security policy that reflects business; (b) informing users of their IT security responsibilities; and (c) establishing processes for monitoring and reviewing the program (Wilson & Hash, 2003, p. 18). The awareness and training should focus on the organization’s entire user population, with management setting the example for proper IT security behavior. The program should begin with training that can be deployed and implemented in various ways, and is aimed at all levels of the organization. The effectiveness of this effort and the true success of the IT security program will usually be determine by the effectiveness of the awareness and training. The awareness program is a method for disseminating information that users need to complete tasks across the organization. It explains proper rules of behavior for the use of information. It outlines security policies and procedures that are need to be followed, and the expectations of the users; which will create accountability in a fully informed, well trained and aware workforce. This policy specifies an information security awareness and training program to inform workers regarding their information security obligations.
