A successful user security awareness programme
No matter how much technology you devote to security, if the people in your organisation aren’t taking care, your systems are at risk. The first step to closing this human security gap is through a carefully designed user security awareness programme. Beltug has put together a Paper on how to create a successful programme; one that meets your goals and helps you create a strong security culture throughout your organisation.

A good user security awareness programme delivers a lot of benefits for your organisation: by making sure employees are both aware of and recognise potential threats, you can prevent loss and leaks of sensitive information, and reduce security incidents through greater detection, blocking and reporting. Over time, you can create a culture of self-responsibility around security.
But what is a ‘good user security awareness programme’? Among the elements of a successful programme, we find commitment at the highest levels of the organisation, a positive and tailored approach, diverse and stimulating activities including rewards for good behaviour, to name a few.
There are a number of steps you can take to help build a successful user security awareness programme:
- Map your current level of security awareness
- Develop an awareness management process
- Create a security awareness culture
- Measure the success of your awareness activities
- Designate Security Ambassadors and Security Community
