Why The Security Awareness Company?
The Security Awareness Company (SAC) was founded in 1990 by one of the world’s leading security awareness facilitators on security awareness, Winn Schwartau, in order to develop, define and promote best business practices for security awareness training with a singular focus on increasing understanding and instilling positive behavioral changes as they relate to protecting information assets.SAC has worked with Congress and countless government and international organizations to achieve different levels of awareness. We offer the most complete suite of standard and custom tools available to build security awareness programs.
Over the past several years, companies have spent huge sums of money on
hardware and software security technologies with not enough focus on one of the most important
security threats the human factor. Until recently, few companies have taken the next step by providing
security awareness education and training to their entire employee population realizing this
as one of the leading causes of data leakage and exposure of non-public data. Many studies have concluded
that employees play a major role in securing information but are often lacking awareness of sound
security practices.
As more companies are now realizing the importance of security awareness
training and how it is the key to security, the problem of whether to develop such training internally
or outsourcing such training becomes a key discussion point.
SAC is a global organization dedicated to solving information security
problems where they need to be solved at the human level. Based in the Nashville, Tennessee area, SAC
delivers information security awareness training and programs throughout the world.
