Building an Enterprise IT Security Training Program

Determining your particular IT security training needs requires assessment and analysis of the organization and its employees. Choose training topics that will address your organization's specific risks and deliver this training in a format that is easily digestible by your employees, regardless of their IT sophistication. This video will provide an overview of the following IT security goals:

• Understanding end users and their IT security training needs.
• Knowing which security topics to cover.
• Choosing a method of training delivery.
• Applying testing best practices.

IT security training is an ongoing process; ensure that you are continually testing the effectiveness of the training and applying remedial instruction where necessary. Mechanisms must be in place to determine if the training program and delivery method are actually improving IT security awareness. If not, they will need to be revisited and tailored to better meet the organization's needs.
