APPROACH

The Teach Program

Train

Instructional personnel from the post-secondary institution and SecurityStudio personnel start the program with fundamental information security risk assessment training for students who participate in the program.

Outreach

The post-secondary institution and SecurityStudio work to identify organizations within the community that are good candidates for fundamental information security risk assessments.
