] Strategy to ensure that staff maintains a correct attitude to security
Training and Education
Regular training should be held for all staff new and existing. ... The importance of following rules and procedures, and of being alert to possible breaches of security need to emphasized and understood. ... Staff should be trained how to use virus protection software for every floppy and CD that they use. ... Fite (1993) suggests that staff should not be employed until they have had sufficient security training first.
Staff should attend workshops that do role-plays that put employees in situations of security problems and to see how that act, they should be in groups so that staff can work together.

Awareness
The first security issue that should be dealt with is promoting awareness. ...

Explaining what happens to an organization, its mission, customers, and employees if security fails motivates people to take security seriously.
Awareness also is used to remind people of basic security practices, such as logging off a computer system or locking doors. ...
Motivation Techniques
Motivation is an extremely important factor in any business as if employees view security as just bothersome rules and procedures; they are more likely to ignore them. In addition, they may not make needed suggestions about improving security nor recognize and report security threats and vulnerabilities. ... Consideration should be given to using motivational techniques to show management and employees how their participation in understanding of security will benefit the organization.
