People are the most important part of securing information assets. Training is critical to keeping people aware of their responsibilities and industry trends. We’ve developed in-house solutions based on National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines on Information Technology (IT) Security Training (SP 800-16 and 50). Additionally, we partnered with Dale-Carnegie – leaders in Management and Leadership development - to enhance our current offerings and provide a comprehensive set of training tools. Information Technology Security Training is addressed on four primary levels:
|
• |
Executive Training: Designed to provide upper management (CIO, SES) with the strategic tools to set policy and effectively manage their information resources. |
• |
Program level: Helps IT Security managers, team leaders and functional managers develop procedures that reflect management policy and provide tactical solutions for day to day IT issues. |
• |
Analyst Level: We train IT operational and functional personnel on how to incorporate IT Security “best practices” into their daily work routines. |
• |
General Awareness: While typically provided in Computer Based Training format, this training arms the average end user with the knowledge to actively assist in securing the organization’s IT resources.
|
The strength of our training program is our ability to establish genuine “buy in” by agency personnel through the use of real world application of our security awareness solutions.
Success Story
In working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Information Systems Security office, we created a comprehensive IT Security Training Plan that blended full Federal Government Information Systems Management Act (FISMA) compliancy with the Bureau's business objectives. We also developed and performed Program Manager training to help them understand how to comply with FISMA on an operational level.
