Each implementation is unique because there are so many variables involved. But the most significant variable is that people are involved and that security becomes an emotional and political subject. People might feel threatened by the advent of security in your organization. They might feel that it interferes with their jobs and keep them from the resources that they need. They might also feel that their activities are now being observed.
Therefore, a security implementation is best handled as a psychological implementation as well as a technical one. The proper psychological environment for security must be created along with the technical procedures.
This environment must be planned. Support for security within the organization must be developed, courted, and encouraged if permanently successful security is an important concern of the organization. Without the active support of all involved areas, security in an installation can be at best ignored and at worst tampered with.
Security awareness programs are time-consuming because they take time to develop and because they must reach all affected employees in the organization. But the time spent is a worthwhile investment. A good security awareness program results in acceptance and support of the security program in your organization.
