As a cybersecurity analyst responsible for communicating about an organization's vulnerability management program, which of the following would be the BEST course of action to ensure that all staff members understand the importance of the vulnerabilities discovered and are aware of the necessary mitigation procedures?
Develop an ongoing security awareness training program that incorporates information on the latest vulnerabilities and their mitigation techniques.
Conduct an annual security seminar that covers various topics, including the previous year's vulnerabilities and mitigations.
Send out a weekly email summarizing new vulnerabilities and the recommended actions to be taken by staff.
Require all staff to read the security bulletin board where information regarding current vulnerabilities and mitigation measures is posted.
Developing an ongoing security awareness training program is the correct answer because it provides the continuous education and reinforcement needed to keep all staff members up-to-date on security policies, the importance of vulnerabilities, and the procedures for mitigating them. The other options are less impactful for overall awareness and education: Sending a weekly email would not provide in-depth education; an annual seminar might not be frequent enough to address vulnerabilities as they are discovered; and requiring staff to read the security bulletin board presumes that all staff will take the initiative to do so, which may not be reliable.
