And yet the great majority of money spent protecting systems is focused on creating technical defences against often exaggerated external threats. Angus McIlwraith's book explains how corporate culture affects perceptions of risk and information security, and how this in turn affects employee behaviour. He then provides a pragmatic approach for educating and training employees in information security and explains how different metrics can be used to assess awareness and behaviour. Information security awareness will always be an ongoing struggle against complacency, problems associated with new systems and technology, and the challenge of other more glamorous and often short-term priorities.\u003cem\u003e Information Security and Employee Behaviour\u003c\/em\u003e will help you develop the capability and culture that will enable your organisation to avoid or reduce the impact of unwanted security breaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, incorporating other areas like anthropology and other non-technical disciplines which are making an impact on recent developments. It also explores the technology used to deliver communication, education and awareness, particularly in the areas of online delivery and recent developments such as 'gamification', as well as the ways in which the research, tools, techniques and methodologies relating to the measurement and change of organisational culture have matured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngus McIlwraith\u003c\/strong\u003e has worked in the field of Information Security and Business Control for over 35 years. He has for many years held (and broadcast) the view that Information Security is not making the best use of time and resources by failing to address some fundamental issues. By not doing so, time and money are wasted; in some extreme circumstances, lives are being put at risk unnecessarily. Angus' professional experience was gained mainly in Financial Services and UK central government. He has worked for Lloyds Bank, American Express, NatWest Bank and Standard Life, as well as working as a consultant to a wide range of international organisations. He has spoken at many conferences, including numerous Information Security Forum (ISF) Congresses, the London-based COMPSEC conference, the Institute of Internal Auditors annual conference and the British Computer Society Information Security Specialist Group (BCS ISSG).
