Cyber Security Education, Training, and Awareness
Richard Kissel, Mark Wilson · Wiley Handbook of Science and Technology for Homeland Security · 2008
Abstract Cyber security education, training, and awareness (ETA) program is a critical component of a cyber security program. It is the vehicle for disseminating cyber security information that the workforce, including managers, need to do their jobs. In terms of the total security solution, the importance of the workforce in achieving cyber security goals and the importance of learning as a countermeasure cannot be overstated. Establishing and maintaining a robust and relevant ETA program as part of the overall cyber security program is the primary conduit for providing the workforce with the information and tools needed to protect an organization's vital information resources. These programs will ensure that personnel at all levels of the organization understand their cyber security responsibilities to properly use and protect the information and resources entrusted to them.
