Information security
Information security awareness is one of several key principles of information security. Information security awareness seeks to understand and enhance human risk behaviors, beliefs and perceptions about information and information security while also understanding and enhancing organizational culture as a countermeasure to rapidly evolving threats. For example, the OECD's "Guidelines for the Security of Information Systems and Networks" include nine generally accepted principles: awareness, responsibility, response, ethics, democracy, risk assessment, security design and implementation, security management, and reassessment. In the context of the Internet, this type of awareness is sometimes referred to as cyber security awareness, which is the focus of multiple initiatives, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Awareness Month and President Obama's 2015 White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection.
