Information
Security has become very crucial in the current
business environment. Irrespective of the
security products implemented in an organization,
the information in an organization is not
completely secure unless the employees are
trained on the security awareness policies
and procedures.
The Global Information Security Survey (2004)
conducted by Ernst & Young cites lack
of security awareness by users as the second
greatest threat facing organizations. Whether
information security regulations are in effect
or not, the liability on organizations, both
from a financial and a reputation aspect,
due to information security breaches is very
high.
Research indicates that an informed workforce
is a significant factor in reducing the security
incidents in any organization. It is, therefore,
imperative that security issues be made obvious
and a firm foundation on the basics be built
for the employees. This will help them understand
the implications of their actions and be aware
of these in their daily activities.
Why E-Learning
for Information Security Training?
Employees play an integral role in protecting
the assets of an organization, and therefore
need to be adequately trained.
E-Learning is a quick, affordable, and
effective method for delivering security
awareness training to a centralized and
distributed employee base.
E-Learning, in many situations, is more
effective than Instructor-Led Training
because it provides systematic tracking
and assessment of learner progress.
E-Learning allows a common message to
be distributed across an organization’s
workforce.
