This chapter outlines advanced options for security training. It builds on previous publications (Weippl 2005, 2006) and expands them by including aspects of European-wide cooperation efforts in security awareness. Various examples will show what characterizes successful programs. The authors cooperate with ENISA (http://www. enisa.eu.int/) to create a new multi-language awareness training program that uses virtual environments to allow users to train on real systems without any danger. We describe the design and the proposed implementation of the system. In cooperation with the Austrian Computer Society (http://www.ocg.at) we lay the basis for an ECDLmodule on IT security awareness training. Companies are obliged to reasonably secure their IT systems and user awareness training is one of the most important and effective means of increasing security. If claims are filed against a company, it is in the interest of management to provide proof that all users completed IT security training. Moreover, advanced and experienced users need a training environment that lets them try complex scenarios in a safe environment.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to survey the status of information security awareness among college students in order to develop effective information security awareness training (ISAT). Design/methodology/approach – Based on a review of the literature and theoretical standpoints as well as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-50 report, the author developed a questionnaire to investigate the attitudes toward information security awareness of undergraduate and graduate students in a business college at a mid-sized university in New England. Based on that survey and the previous literature, suggestions for more effective ISAT are provided. Findings – College students understand the importance and the need for ISAT but many of them do not participate in it. However, security topics that are not commonly covered by any installed (or built-in) programs or web sites have a significant relationship with information security awareness. It seems that students learned security concepts piecemeal from variety of sources. Practical implications – Universities can assess their ISAT for students based on the findings of this study. Originality/value – If any universities want to improve their current ISAT, or establish it, the findings of this study offer some guidelines.
