IT INDUCTION AND INFORMATION SECURITY AWARENESS

Where your information security is concerned, prevention is better than cure. If you want to tackle the problem of information security, you cannot rely on the help of technology alone. Information security breaches tend to occur as a result of human, as well as technological, failings. However, the human factor usually receives far less attention. Training Computer systems are complex, so people who work with them often need to be trained in how to use them correctly. This applies especially to your companys information security. The loss of a memory stick by a careless employee, or the downloading of a file that contains a virus, may be all it takes to cause a security breach. Practical advice This book offers you practical advice on how to develop an IT Induction programme for your staff that can help safeguard your business information. By providing your employees with simple instruction in good IT working practices, and by making sure they know what is expected of them, you can strengthen your companys information security and reduce the risk that your data will be stolen or lost. A sense of responsibility Encouraging good corporate working and a strong sense of responsibility are, the author argues, essential for the protection of your business information. She shows you how to strike the right balance in your approach to staff training, thereby enabling you to provide your employees with an IT Induction that is at once informative and accessible.
