Building an Information Security Awareness Program cover

A practical guide to implementing Information Security Awareness Training in your organization

The best defense against the increasing threat of social engineering attacks is Security Awareness Training to warn your organization's staff of the risk and educate them on how to protect your organization's data. Social engineering is not a new tactic, but Building an Security Awareness Program is the first book that shows you how to build a successful security awareness training program from the ground up. Building an Security Awareness Program provides you with a sound technical basis for developing a new training program. The book also tells you the best ways to garner management support for implementing the program. Author Bill Gardner is one of the founding members of the Security Awareness Training Framework. Here, he walks you through the process of developing an engaging and successful training program for your organization that will help you and your staff defend your systems, networks, mobile devices, and data. Forewords written by Dave Kennedy and Kevin Mitnick!

"...a blueprint for creating a highly practical and effectiveness awareness programme that could do so much more to protect your organisation than tens of thousand of dollars spent on shiny new security hardware." --Network Security "...a comprehensive introduction to the human factors that have an impact on the delivery of effective security, as well as practical proposals for the defense against social engineering and technical threats." --Computing Reviews "I have been reading about this subject for a while now and, in my modest opinion, this is one of the best books out there covering it... every chapter holds some additional, practical information about each topic." --Help Net Security
