Employee Information Security Awareness

We try to complete our tasks using numerous technological tools and services 
in a working day. The number of devices that work without being connected to 
the Internet is now very low compared to the past. However, how many of us 
use these equipments properly in our workplace? Unfortunately, in an average 
business, employees' information security awareness is very low. Even though 
it is a matter of individual self-education, it is also an issue that falls under the 
responsibility of business owners: employee information security awareness. In 
any undesirable situation, the business owner will be the one who will suffer 
the most. Therefore, small steps taken in time will help to prevent possible 
major problems in the future. So, what is included in this awareness and how 
can this awareness be brought to employees?
First of all, just as there are various rules in the working environment that 
enable the business to operate properly, rules and limits in information security
area should also be determined and announced to employees.
