Best practice security awareness

Information security awareness is what we do. 

We are proud to have been acknowledged as a “best practice expert” in security awareness by ENISA, the European Network and Information Security Agency, alongside Gartner no less. Our Business Case for an Information Security Awareness Program contributed to ENISA’s Users’ Guide: How to Raise Information Security Awareness. The Users’ Guide expands considerably on our white paper with helpful advice to small companies on how to plan and establish security awareness programs.

While we don’t sell security technologies such as antivirus and firewalls, we have absolutely no problem with organizations using them, as part of their information security management systems. Clearly NoticeBored fills in the gaps, tackling the human factors, those awkward and ill-defined issues that technology alone cannot solve. But the best kept secret is that we also support and leverage those very same technologies by helping IT professionals appreciate their part in the bigger picture. Do your IT people understand the pivotal role they play in information security? Or is security just another barrier to them?
