Step 4: Provide Continuous Training
What training can I provide?
A well-rounded data security program requires a strong infrastructure that includes proper technologies, policies, and training. In many organizations, training falls to the bottom of the priority list. It is not uncommon for employees who are responsible for handling sensitive information to be unaware of best practices involving data security. People cannot practice what they don't know; creating vulnerabilities. Data security involving your students and staff can be significantly increased through effective training practices.Security Awareness Insider
