Web course raises e-crime awareness - Bill Goodwin, Computer Weekly

IT staff and end-users are being taught how to recognise and respond to computer crime through an online training course. The course, which has attracted interest from companies keen to reduce their exposure to computer crime, aims to raise awareness of staff to the risks. Poor security habits by employees, including using easily guessable passwords, or disclosing confidential information to potential hackers, present one of the greatest threats to security. The course, run by security consultancy Commissum and e-learning provider Absolutely Training, allows staff to learn in 20 minute chunks by logging on at their convenience.
