Hennie Kruger, Wayne D. Kearney · Information Security for South Africa · 2005
AngloGold Ashanti is an international gold mining company that has recently implemented an information security awareness program worldwide at all of their operations. Following the implementation, there was a normal business need to evaluate and measure the success and effectiveness of the program. A measuring tool that can be applied globally and that addressed AngloGold Ashanti’s unique requirements was developed and applied at the mining sites located in the West Africa region. The objective of this paper is, firstly, to give a brief overview on the measuring tool developed and, secondly to report on the application and results in the West Africa region.
