November’s awareness topic: social insecurity

Social networking has become hot news recently.  Like many Internet and indeed IT developments, it’s more the result of evolution than revolution, more marketing hype than substance, but it presents some interesting opportunities and of course challenges for users.

Many organizations are openly examining the adoption of social networking, social media and Web 2.0 technologies, or are facing covert use of these systems and technologies on work systems during working hours by employees - whether you call them ‘early adopters’, ‘social sponges’ or ‘rogues’ depends on your perspective.

Browse on to discover what’s in November’s security awareness materials and read the free security awareness newsletter for the background and risks behind this important security awareness topic.

If you don’t have someone to manage your information security policies, security awareness and compliance activities, our generic job description might be just what you need to set the ball rolling.

Other creative security awareness materials from IsecT Ltd.

While the NoticeBored security awareness monthly subscription service remains our prime focus, some of our most creative materials are now available separately - ideal if you already run an awareness program:

Information Security 101 - bring new employees quickly up to speed with this foundation-level induction/orientation module covering the basics of information security in an engaging style;

Internal Controls Questionnaires (ICQs) - audit or self-check your risks and controls across a broad range of important information security topics;

Security awareness posters - an effective promotional and branding tool as part of an awareness program;

Information security policy manual - a generic mandate for good security practices drawing on ISO27k (the ISO/IEC 27000-series standards);

 Individual security awareness modules - if you can’t commit to a whole year’s worth of content right now, or if your security budget has been decimated due to the “global economic circumstances”, how about picking just one or more individual modules?  We have awareness materials to suit all budgets.
