What percentage of information security is about the technology and what percentage is about me?

Information Security is not only about Information Technology (IT). In fact, only 10% of security prevention measurements are technical, which means 90% relies on the person using the computer – YOU! – following recommended safe computing practices. Think of it this way: the lock on the front door of your house is the 10%; you remembering to lock it, making sure the door is closed tightly, ensuring others do not prop open the door, keeping the keys in a safe and secure place is the 90%. You need both parts for effective security.

After sharing various opportunities to enhance your knowledge of online security during October, we thought you might find it interesting to gauge how much you've learned, so we put together an interactive PowerPoint presentation with questions and answers that you can click through at your own pace. It should take up about 10 minutes (or less) of your time.

We hope you find the Information Security Quiz helpful and informative.
