Protecting assets critical to organization’s functionality is everyone responsibility – information leakage, unauthorized access, destruction can cost an organization dearly in lost productivity, decreased morale and public confidence. Security should be integrated into the organisation’s practices and plans (as physical security, information security, personnel security etc.). There are two sides to security risks – threats and vulnerabilities. This article is about the human factor in the equation vulnerabilities-threats. The PROSEC test is a set of questions (and requirements) designed to determine an individual to become aware of security rules. By introducing the PROSEC test in security education program, you reduce the chances that your personnel will become a victim of today’s data security threats. Because it’s about self-education.
