Security awareness policies explain how employees should learn and follow security practices.

The goal is:

“Teach employees how to avoid security threats.”

These policies often require:

  • Security training
  • Phishing awareness
  • Reporting suspicious activity
  • Password safety

Humans are often the weakest security point, so awareness training is very important.
