Quick Bytes: Security awareness lacking

What is the top obstacle to effective information security? According to the results of a recent Ernst & Young infosec survey, it's the lack of security awareness by users. Yet only 28 percent of the respondents indicated that their organizations made employee awareness training on IT security issues a top priority, and less than half provided employees with ongoing training in security. The survey's respondents included CIOs, CSOs, CISOs, and other top executives from more than 1,200 organizations. @ Link to the Ernst & Young Global Information Security Survey 2004 through SM Online.
