010 - An Introduction to Information Security

Information security is more than just avoiding computer viruses and choosing strong passwords. Information security covers a wide range of computer and physical security issues, social engineering attacks and privacy concerns.

The basic aims of any information security program can be summarized in 3 principles - Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. This course defines these 3 terms, provides examples of security breaches, and explores how an organization's policies and procedures fit into the picture.

This course is ideal as the introductory course for a structured information security education program, and can easily be customized to include organization-specific materials and messages.
