Employees are the weakest link in Corporate Security
Companies Gain Protection from Internal and External Security attacks in New Training Programs from SoftwarebyBay
Corporate Security Risks Met Head-On With Security Awareness and Management Training Programs
PARSIPPANY, NEW JERSEY, May 29, 2003 - SoftwareByBay today announced the launch of a new
Web-based Information Security Education (WISE) training program, a series of interactive, self-paced courses to help companies and their employees increase their knowledge of ongoing internal and external security breaches and attacks, and the defenses available to protect against them.
Based on the internationally recognized ISO 17799 information security standards that establish
Information security best practices, the course program has been designed to provide training for all levels of company personnel, ranging from general security awareness and security management to detailed technical training.
David Broad, Security Manager of Bell Mobility states, “Finally there is a training product that has the appropriate content, presentation and style that allows us to meet our regulatory and business requirements related to Information Security. It’s a win/win! Our Bell Mobility employees have none of the pressure associated with on-site classroom training, and our bottom line gets substantial financial savings because we no longer have to incur expenses like airfare, hotels, and meals for out-of-town training sessions. "
SoftwareByBay partner Tom Welch, who has over 18 years in law enforcement, private investigation, and information security consulting explained, "WISE is a comprehensive, modular, e-learning program that consists of six main courses that cover Information security awareness, security management, and security technology as well as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training for medical personnel.
SoftwareByBay founder John Bay added, "This is NOT a PowerPoint slide show on the web. It is a true learning experience that incorporates a number of components including text and voice in combination with video, animation, simulation, and interactive sessions. It is simply intuitive and informative."
Improved Internet bandwidth and office computer systems are now capable of playing back high-quality interactive video and audio making remote training a snap. E-Learning and on-line training incorporate the use of multimedia technologies, such as audio and streaming video, interactive, stimulatory animations, and engaging testing and feedback. The continued advancement in technology is breathing new life into on-line training and creating more opportunities for e-Learning.
Studies show that using the multimedia technologies employed in WISE increases retention rates of 30% over traditional training methods. The cost of training is significantly reduced, and employees learn more efficiently as they see, hear, and interact with the WISE application.
Employees can pace themselves, begin and end a session at any time and pick up where they left off, while they gain skills in information
Security concepts and policies; acceptable system use; business use of email; malicious code as
Pertaining to viruses, email worms, and Trojan horses; data handling; security breach management;
Threat identification and assessment; and hacker and denial of service attacks.
