Part of any security policy, should be an accompanying security awareness program. There are many different ways to offer this type of program, including workshops. 'Holding a workshop is an excellent way to provide interaction and a personal touch to your awareness program.' (http://www.securityawareness.com/workshop.htm). The purpose of this paper is to give you a guideline that you can use to put on a basic security awareness workshop. It can probably be done at a lunch hour or two and should be adapted to fit your company's policies and procedures. I've laid it out as if it was a PowerPoint type presentation so that you can easily adapt it to a more interesting visual presentation. It's imperative that we remember that the purpose of a security awareness program is to make sure that each and every person understands that what they do how they do it and why they do it impacts the safety of the company's assets and assets of individuals around the world.
