Introduction
Awareness and training are critical at all stages and levels of information security. For example, upper management needs to learn about the institutional risks; users must be taught how to defend themselves against malicious code; system and network administrators require training to help them maintain and improve the security of the systems they oversee; and information security support staff must be well-versed in all of these areas and have a solid understanding of vulnerability assessment, intrusion detection, incident response, encryption, and authentication.
