Establishing a Security Awareness Training Program

Presenter: David Reynolds

“People often represent the weakest link in the security chain and are chronically responsible for the failure of security systems”, says Bruce Scheiner, Writer and Computer Security Expert. It’s hard to argue with this statement. If your staff does not recognize the importance of properly securing information and keeping it confidential, it puts your institution at risk. Security Awareness Training is a regulatory requirement and one of the most effective tools available to protect security assets within an organization.

Without continuous training and reminders of the responsibilities involved, information can be used inappropriately internally or obtained by unauthorized people outside the bank. Your institution can suffer financial loss, may end up in noncompliance or can damage its reputation.

This webinar will provide guidelines and material for building a strong, effective Security Awareness Training program and will provide suggestions and resources for ongoing maintenance of the program.

We’ll answer these questions:

• Why do you need a Security Awareness Training program?
• Who in the institution needs Security Awareness training?
• When should Security Awareness Training be conducted?
• Should you outsource your Security Awareness Training program?
• What are the components of a comprehensive Security Awareness Training program?
• What does Maintenance of the Security Awareness Training program entail?
• What resources are available for ongoing Security Awareness Training?
