issues

All employees of all organisations using information technology systems should as a minimum receive six monthly refresher awareness training covering the principles of security best practice.

In large organisations, it is often difficult to ensure that all employees are able to attend essential training seminars. Also, the perishable nature of the knowledge acquired demands that refresher training of all employees is a must.

approach

commissum has addressed the need for the training of numbers of employees in the basics of security awareness and subsequent refresher training by the production of multimedia, computer based training. This can be delivered in a number of ways, broadly:

• CD ROM based
• intranet based
• remote (e-learning) based

Computer based multimedia courses adopt a structured approach to lessons that enable students to progress at their own pace. Extensive use is made of multimedia content to add to the interest of the subject:

• high quality photographic images
• video
• audio
• animation

The self paced nature of the delivery mechanism makes extensive use of hypertext (links), helping students to choose between the "need to know" and the "nice to know."

Courses are easily updated either by issue of upgrade CD ROM, or centrally in Intranet and remote learning solutions.
