  Educating the users on the essential of information security is very vital
and important to the mission of establishing a sustainable information security
in any organization and institute. At the University Technology Malaysia (UTM),
we have recognized the fact that, it is about time information security should
no longer be a lacking factor in productivity, both information security and
productivity must work together in closed proximity. We have recently
implemented a broad campus information security awareness program to educate
faculty member, staff, students and non-academic staff on this essential topic
of information security. The program consists of training based on web,
personal or individual training with a specific monthly topic, campus
campaigns, guest speakers and direct presentations to specialized groups. The
goal and the objective are to educate the users on the challenges that are
specific to information security and to create total awareness that will change
the perceptions of people thinking and ultimately their reactions when it comes
to information security. In this paper, we explain how we created and
implemented our information security awareness training (ISAT) program and
discuss the impediment we encountered along the process. We explore different
methods of deliveries such as target audiences, and probably the contents as we
believe might be vital to a successful information security program. Finally,
we discuss the importance and the flexibility of establishing a sustainable
information security training program that could be adopted to meet current and
future needs and demands while still relevant to our current users.
