Topics for company Information Security Forum
We are in the process of establishing an Information Security Forum in
our Information Technology Division of our organization. This forum
will consist of representatives from each department of the Information
Technology Division.
Can you please provide some suggestions as to what typical agenda items
such a forum should cover in their meetings?
I feel end-user education is a key security issue. One recurring
agenda item could be a quick tutorial in some aspect of security. I have
found that once end users really understand what security is trying to
do, they are much more open to changes. Security is often this secretive
aspect of the company that performs audits and enforces rules. Most
employees are scared by that. I would also use this forum to get
feedback from end users regarding current practices. Overall open
communication is best. Use this forum to get input on security policies,
new technologies the company is considering, set up beta groups, etc.
