Why security awareness is important for managers?
Security awareness only for employees? Certainly not. Experts agree it is time for managers to move into a more active role when it comes to IT security. Nowadays, managers are required to be technologists in addition to business leaders, with the ability to address security concerns as well as manage somewhat complex technologies.

Why should take this course ?
Awareness programs provide a great way to educate personnel and keep the company’s IT security policy fresh in their minds. The idea behind a campaign is to motivate people to take information security seriously and respond accordingly, as Steve Durbin, a managing director of the Information Security Forum (ISF) emphasized in a CIO post. Any technical defense measure would be useless if the entire staff is not cyber-aware; a good security program has everybody involved by staying current with new technologies and understanding the common types of threats or attacks that can affect business operations.

What is confidentiality?
Confidentiality is the preservation of authorized restrictions on University information access and disclosure, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.
Confidentiality has to do with the privacy of information, including authorizations to view, share, and use it. Information with low confidentiality concerns may be considered "public" or otherwise not threatening if exposed beyond its intended audience. Information with high confidentiality concerns is considered secret and must be kept confidential to prevent identity theft, compromise of accounts and systems, legal or reputational damage, and other severe consequences.

Why Security Awareness is Important for Managers?
Security awareness shouldn’t be limited to just staff only. Managers, executives and even owners should be a part of the security campaign. As a matter of fact, having credentials from executives, managers are far more valuable to a hacker because of the level of access given to them. Managers can also be promoters for security and protection of assets.
Since managers understand their team, they are beneficial for their organization of the program. Managers can identify employee weaknesses in security education and address the issue with additional training. They can also organize groups and schedule the right training among teams.
The result of manager training leads to positive impact on security for the organization.
Managers are a Group That is Most at Risk
Managers have more access to sensitive data and systems, making it paramount that they are educated about the risks of handling this information. We have seen countless phishing attacks that target on the highest levels of executives, managers and ignoring these staff in training could be a costly oversight and loophole in your end user security plan.
Health and safety are critical parts of a risk manager’s role. They actively seek out problem areas in the organization and look to address them. They use data analysis to identify loss and injury trends and implement strategies to prevent them from reoccurring.. This clearly benefits employees in physical work environments, such as construction, but can also help office employees and those in similar positions through methods such as ergonomics. A safer workplace is better for everyone and is dramatically impacted by risk management.
They're Setting a Good Example for Staff
When Managers take training, they're ensuring their department takes training more seriously. For the laggards in their department not completing training, having the head of the department ahead of them is a convincing argument for them to complete their assignments. Even better, it's a great step in creating a culture of more secure behavior.
Anyone not participating in the new security measures constitutes a possible weak link. If everyone isn’t fully engaged, it’s all for nothing. This particular practice also assumes that all departments (e.g., HR, Legal, Security) must buy-in and help make it a reality.
Security awareness shouldn’t be limited to just staff. Managers, executives and even owners should be a part of the campaign. As a matter of fact, having credentials from executives is far more valuable to a hacker because of the level of access given to them. Managers can also be promoters for security and protection of assets.
Why security awareness training to your Managers
