CSAO

Certificated Security Awareness Officer

CSAO, short for Certificated Security Awareness Officer, is the first security awareness expert-level certification course in China and provides an all-around approach and practice guidance for professionals in enterprises and institutions who are responsible for the construction of security, the management of internal “human factors” risks and the implementation of information security awareness promotion.

About the importance of Security Awareness Officer training

A lot of people may believe that cybersecurity is the business of enterprise security leader and IT department, yet this is a widespread misunderstanding that needs to be corrected timely. Enterprise cybersecurity is not only the job for the person who’s in charge of cybersecurity or the IT department, it is relevant to everyone and is the indispensable responsibility of every employee. Enterprises need a role of “cybersecurity ambassador” to spread security culture and popularize security awareness. The establishment of the role of security ambassador enables ordinary employees to participate in security awareness education activities, so as to help enterprises establish security cultures.

All of the following problems have to be considered in carrying out the cybersecurity ambassador program, ordinary employees cannot become security ambassadors without security education background or the support of theoretical knowledge despite the corporate wish to unfold the “Cybersecurity Ambassador Program”. The emergence of CSAO course helps enterprises solve this bewilderment as its complete theory system of knowledge assists enterprise cybersecurity ambassador to carry out enterprise staff security  awareness education work, give theory instructions, case experience and solutions, etc., so CSAO course can be said as the best choice for enterprises to carry out the “Cybersecurity Ambassador Program”.
