Security Awareness is the knowledge and attitude members of an organization possess regarding the protection of the physical and information assets of that organization or ones that are entrusted to by its clients or partners.

Increasingly hostile marketplace and the fact that we have become totally reliant on Information Technology present an important challenge for business governance today. Once a Company establishes its Security Governance, knowledge of it should effectively be communicated to staff so that corporate security policies and standards are known throughout its enterprise.

Knowledge awareness should primarily be disseminated by the members of the Security Governance Committee, Senior Leaders and via a security education program. Security Education Program gives meaning to the security policies and standards by translating them into practical direction intended to change human behaviour to provide an improved corporate security posture.

An organization that wishes to minimize its security exposure must be committed to educate all employees of the potential security risks to the corporate enterprise. Being security aware, means employees understand that there is the potential for some people to deliberately or accidentally steal, damage, or misuse the data that is stored within a company's computer systems and throughout the organization.

The goal of security education is to ensure staff know or reasonably ought to know their responsibilities to protect information, systems and other corporate assets. A robust and enterprise wide security education is paramount for ensuring that employees understand their security roles and responsibilities, corporate policies, and how to use and protect the computational resources.

Information Security is everyone's business - where all employees have a role to play in embedding security governance and to ensure that an effective Security Education Program is adopted enterprise wide.
