The Rationale for Creating Security Training
Certainly there is the huge need for security education and training programs, but it’s also necessary to
make a selection amongst all the offerings that could get found on the marketplace. The decision makers
who would approve the funds to some solution should care about the both – budgeting and purpose of
the courses they intend to accept or reject. In so many cases, there is the big need for the training
rationale that would provide you an opportunity to make the careful grading of offerings coming from your
organization or the supporting contractors. Anyhow, it’s so important to pay the great attention to some
kind of training assessment forms that would help you to evaluate any proposal on. The modern security
landscape is so flooded with so many different offerings, but even that amount of propositions is not
sufficient to satisfy all the marketplace requirements. For instance, so many developing countries would
miss the appropriate education and training courses in so many areas of business and that is especially
the case with the small businesses which would undoubtedly suffer the huge lack of training to their
workforce. Also, the security is an area that would need a lot of good practice and its decision makers
should care about the practical impacts of once selected courses. In so many fast raising economies, the
imperative in any field is the skill and if you offer the people a good mix of theory and practice – you would
get in position to produce the next generation of the black belt masters in that sport. The point is whatever
you do in your life or business – you need to exercise hard in order to maintain that level of skills on.
Could we memorize the entire Course?
The fact is if you spend 8 hours or several days on some seminar – you would get difficulties to memorize
all those information on. It may appear as easy at the beginning to deal with the new concepts and topics,
but as time goes on you would realize that only the few things would leave in your memory. The security
itself is not only about the cyber defense, but there is the great role of physical protection amongst that
field. So, the point is very simple! If you want to make your physical security workforce gets the skill in
some martial art or the weaponry usage – you need to show the same and same routine again and again.
In addition, there is the big deal of experience you need to gain in the practice in order to become the
real master in your business. The similar situation is with the cyber defense! If you want to obtain the
black belt for a cyberspace, you need to practice so hard in order to get the great skill, so far. Further, it’s
the matter of motivation how hard the people would want to make any progress in their business on and
sometimes if you choose the good candidates to some security program you could use the assistance of
your psychological team in order to estimate what drives those promising people. Finally, if you make the
good mix of predisposition, motivation and practice – you would definitely produce the next generation
leaders to your purposes.
Make Things Simple – Not Complicated
The experience would suggest that the people would mainly easily accept the simple concepts, while the
complicated topics would only confuse them. It’s so hard to accept something you cannot understand at
the first glance and if there is no chance to take something new – you would get difficulties to lately apply
so in the practice. In other words, you would get a lot of troubles to enforce the law or secure the
cyberspace if you do not understand how those things work. The security is about the risk management!
It sounds simple, right? Basically, it is – only if you find the right way to explain such a concept to your
attendees in so understandable manner.
