Overview

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.

Resources Developed by the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council (formerly the Security Task Force)

College and University Education and Awareness Programs and Resources

Activities, materials, and/or training designed to make an organization's user community knowledgeable about potential security threats and how to combat them.
