Re: Information Security Awareness Day , Week

[Ken Shaurette <kmshaurette () MPCCORP COM>]

At the "federal" or US National level it is intended that 9/10 be a day
not just for Information Security Awareness, but security and safety
awareness overall.  We already have "CyberSecurity" Days in the spring
and fall with daylight savings time, there is also Computer Security Day
from the ACM on November 30.  There was a firewall security day earlier
this year.
 
The intention is to create a day of observance that is not specific to
cyber, physical, a vendor or a technology.  Just good old fashioned "Be
Aware or BeWARE". 
 
Add September 10, 2004 to your calendars and lets all increase our
awareness every day leading up to it and every day after it.
 
Melissa great work on the materials and sharing.

Subject: [SECURITY] Informnation Security Awarenes Day , Week



Please take time to consider sending a note to your Governor to ask for
a proclamation for Security Awareness Day or Week,
Governor Napalitano just dedicated the fourth week in April as
Information Security Awareness Day - many initiative can be done and I
have alot of material I would be willing to donate.
 
Please let me know if you need any additional information Or material
 
Currently - information Security Awareness day on the Federal  level is
9/10 - the Week is designated as the fourth week in April - I realize
not much time but I have material all ready to use.  You just need to
let me know if you are interested.
 
Thanks - " you can force them to change their password, but how to you
have them change their behaviors?"
It takes knowledge (what to do), skill (how to do) and attitude (want to
or shy to do)
