February’s awareness topic: cryptography

We have just completed and released a completely new security awareness module about cryptography.  Yes, cryptography - a very important information security awareness topic, yet one that few awareness programs dare to tackle.  Cryptography is undeniably a complex subject, full of technology, statistics and advanced mathematics, so it’s hard to get the topic across to general employees and managers without dipping too far into all that complexity ... but we’ve done our level best to do exactly that.  Even in the awareness materials for IT professionals we have avoided going too deep, but writing for the more technical audience was relatively easy compared to the others.

The management stream explores potential strategic advantages of cryptography and even cryptanalysis, if the organization has the stomach to consider it.  Breaking competitors’ secret codes may be far too unethical for our valued customers to consider but we felt it necessary to point out to managers that adversaries may not be quite so reluctant to explore the possibilities.  Forewarned is forearmed.

Browse on to discover what’s in store in February’s security awareness materials and read the free security awareness newsletter for the background and the risks relating to or arising from the use of cryptography.
