This policy is designed to guide employees towards understanding and adhering to best security practices that are relevant to their job responsibilities. A security policy is only as valuable as the knowledge and efforts of those who adhere to it, whether IT staff or regular users. Understanding the importance of computer and network security and building accountability for these concepts are critical for achieving organizational goals. With this in mind, establishing principles for security awareness and conducting subjective security training are integral endeavours for the Company. Security awareness ensures that users are familiar with potential threat mechanisms, while training teaches them the strategies they must employ to prevent or respond to these threats.

The purpose of this policy is to describe the necessary requirements for users to receive contextual security training that relates to the scope of their duties and responsibilities. The Company’s Top Management is committed to enforce the required behaviours mandated by these programs.

A meaningful security awareness and training program explains areas of caution, identifies appropriate security procedures that need to be followed and discusses any sanctions that might be imposed due to lack of compliance. Accountability originates from a well-informed and well-trained workforce.

The Company is focused on the overall purpose of security training, to help make employees aware of actions they can take to keep information safe, such as correct password usage, using security software to block viruses and spam, repelling social engineering attacks, backing up data and setting appropriate channels to report suspected incidents or violations. Because new vulnerabilities, risks, and hacks arise on a regular basis, new technological developments require continuous monitoring and improvement of security awareness and training guidelines.
