"Introduction to Security" First Course Offered by Business
Unit Spin-Off of Practical Security Inc.

Practical Security Inc. today announced its new company business unit, PSI Training, will launch with a 10-hour information security training course targeted at business professionals, "Information Security Fundamentals."

The first module, "Introduction to Security" is available today.

PSI Training was formed to provide information security training classes for business professionals via a variety of methods, including instructor-led Webcasts, audio CD modules, and integrated audio/visual presentations. Distribution of the classes will be through strategic marketing partners, as well as direct from PSI Training, downloadable from the Web at www.practicalsecurity.com/training.html. Courses offered will include training on information security fundamentals, HIPAA security and CISSP certification.

The first module available, "Information Security Fundamentals: Introduction to Security" is a one-hour, self-paced tutorial that introduces listeners to information security. Securing enterprise data, applications, and intellectual property has become the critical issue for business decision makers in the era of hackers and potential cyber-terrorism. This course meets the needs of business owners, managers and others who need to understand what they can do to ward off security threats.

Presented by Paul E. Proctor, an internationally known author and security IT expert, this class and the remainder of the course are based on the book, The Secured Enterprise: Protecting Your Information Assets,by Paul E. Proctor and F. Christian Byrnes. "Introduction to Security" includes a presentation CD and an audio CD. With PSI Training's unique "learn while you drive" approach to security training, the audio CD can be used while commuting to reinforce what is learned in the course.

Christopher Boring, marketing communications manager with Toshiba Network Products Division, said, "There is a great need for professionally produced and timely information security IT classes for the non-IT manager."

He added, "Any manager who is concerned about securing his company's sensitive data and intellectual property would be interested in taking this class."

Business managers, security professionals, and network and system administrators will take this course to learn about:

• Introduction to Security
  
• Justifying Security in Your Organization
  
• Threat Briefing

Paul E. Proctor, founder and president of PSI Training, said, "Business people are a key group in the successful implementation of security, and this course is designed to address their needs by discussing security from a business perspective."

Proctor added, "Security professionals and technical administrators will also benefit by developing a greater understanding of the role business plays in successful security."
