Word from the Director
I invite you to spend some time looking through this site. Get a feel for what is here. Learn a little, have a little fun. Look for Tips and How To's, Recommendations, Standards, Best Practices, and for discussions of Legal requirements. Look for videos, games, quizzes, and downloadable booklets. There is a lot of material on these pages and links to much more. I recommend you begin with the one-page security summary for users. Think about what you learn. And when you hear someone ask a question about an InfoSec topic, you will know where to point them...
