An audit at your organization has revealed that employees lack proper awareness regarding secure handling of removable media, which is prevalently used across various departments. To effectively bridge this knowledge gap, which of the following initiatives is MOST appropriate?
Executing targeted security awareness training specific to correct handling and threats associated with removable media
Revising the organizational guidelines to elaborate on the procedures pertaining to the use of removable media
Commencing a monthly security bulletin that highlights best practices for managing and securing removable media
Implementing mandatory encryption on all removable media devices within the organization
To directly address the specific knowledge gap regarding secure handling of removable media, targeted role-based security awareness training is the best approach. This method provides relevant information on threats and best practices tailored to different roles within the organization, making the training more relevant and actionable for employees who handle sensitive data through removable media.
Introducing encryption for removable media safeguards data but does not raise awareness about the associated risks or correct usage.
Updating organizational guidelines to include more comprehensive directives about the usage of removable media is essential from a policy standpoint but does not ensure employees are educated on the real-world application of such policies.
Circulating a monthly security bulletin offers recurrent reinforcement but may not be as impactful or engaging to ensure profound understanding and behavioral change regarding the use of removable media.
