Course Description

The purpose of the SANS Security Awareness training is to ensure State employees are aware of the information security risks and threats, understand their responsibilities, and are aware of the statutory and policy requirements that are intended to protect State information systems and information from a loss of confidentiality, integrity, availability, or privacy. Almost daily, reports of security breaches related to the theft or release of personal information are evident in the news. Firewalls, antivirus software, and upgrading computer software provide computer protection, but the first line of defense is employee awareness. An employee’s knowledge of information security will help reduce the number of threats and help protect the State of New Jersey’s infrastructure, as well as his or her own personal information.
