BankInfoSecurity.com Announces Information Security Awareness Program Online Workshop

North Brunswick, NJ, August 22, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards as per Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) of 2001 require each bank to have a comprehensive written information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the size and complexity of the bank and the nature and scope of its activities. This program shall include security awareness training to inform personnel of information security risks associated with the activities of personnel, and responsibilities of personnel in complying with bank policies and procedures designed to reduce such risk.

In this online workshop, BankInfoSecurity.com will describe how to develop and implement a security awareness program. Attendees will learn how to get their employees’ attention, and keep it. The workshop will also discuss how to keep awareness fresh long after the initial awareness classes have been taken.

This workshop will attempt to explain why security awareness is a critical element in every financial institution’s overall security program. The speaker will relay the importance of knowing a business’ culture, and reveal the three key elements for program success – Educate, Motivate, and Cultivate.
