Overview:
“It was supposed to be just a routine fax to the CEO of the Intertrack Corporation, James Thomas, while he was on a trade mission abroad. Instead, somehow attached to that fax was a document that should never have left the fours walls of his company—a detailed draft of a highly confidential patent application…”

The “Human Factor” of information security—those things that can be affected by every employee, every day, remains one of the toughest challenges facing IT and security professionals today.

Employing Commonwealth’s award-winning dramatized production format, this engaging best-seller traces the story of how, after an initial security breach occurs at a seemingly secure organization, a security professional is retained to “infiltrate” the organization as a test, in order to expose and exploit the many inherent vulnerabilities caused by irresponsible end-user work habits and casual attitudes toward established security controls and policies…lapses that can allow sensitive documents and information to become “targets of opportunity” for corporate spies and unauthorized insiders. Through that eye-opening process, this program highlights the vital role that each employee plays when it comes to enterprise-wide information security, and how all employees need to think defensively about how “bits and pieces” of information might slip out or be taken out. It also shows how what may seem like small, insignificant bits of information can be easily pieced together and—to a knowledgeable person—can be extremely valuable.

Structured for both end-users and management, this program is an essential, enterprise-wide awareness training tool for both corporate and government environments.
