The Cost of Security Training
The cost of providing security training to your staff may be high, but
what is the cost of not providing any training at all?

It has been said before that the cost of IT training for those of us in
the computer security industry is really quite high. After all, there is
not only the cost of the course itself, but also the associated costs of
hotels, food, and rental vehicles if the course is out of town. This
quickly adds up to a rather tidy sum for managers trying to maximize
their often decreasing budgets. But have those same managers considered
what is the cost of not providing training to their staff?
