State-of-the-art simulation systems for information security education, training and awareness

Abstract

This paper describes state-of-the-art simulation systems designed for information security and information assurance education, training and awareness. Being people the weakest link in the implementation of any security policy, it is of paramount importance to strengthen that link before it gets broken. The best way of improving the reactions of any person when security is attempted to be compromised is by providing him/her with better education, attractive practical training and raising the general awareness on information assurance. © 2010 IEEE.
