Parsippany, NJ (PRWEB) December 21, 2003 --These are dangerous times. The government has been trying to make all corporations aware of the huge dangers of a network attack. A network attack doesn't just cost enormous loss of time and money. A network attack can stop a company dead in its tracks. Educating Employees is a more effective solution.

Software By Bay (www.softwarebybay.com) today announced the launch of a new Web-based Information Security Education (WISE) training program.
The program is a series of interactive, self-paced courses to help companies and their employees increase their increase their knowledge of ongoing internal and external security breaches and attacks, and the defenses available to protect against them.

WISE is a self-paced training course that provides training ranging from general security awareness and security management to detailed technical training.

"Antivirus software and Firewalls are not enough to protect employees from errors that can threaten a company's IT infrastructure. The right training can help reduce exposure to the weakest link in information security: the employee," said John Bay, President and CEO of Software By Bay.

The course components teach employees the proper use of organization resources like computers, email, and the Internet, trains them to identify intrusions from hackers, viruses, the hacker's improper use of social engineering, and allows the employee and his/her manager to combine their efforts in the strengthened defense of information and physical assets.

Employees can pace themselves, begin and end a session at any time and pick up where they left off, while they gain skills in information:
Security concepts and policies
Acceptable system use
Business use of email
Malicious code as pertaining to:
viruses
Email worms
Trojan horses
Data handling
Security breach management
Threat identification and assessment
Hacker and denial of service attacks.

Software By Bay president John Bay added, "This is NOT a PowerPoint slide show on the web. It is a true learning experience that incorporates a number of components including text and voice in combination with video, animation, simulation, and interactive sessions."

Based on the internationally recognized ISO 17799 information security standards that establish information security best practices, the course program has been designed to provide training for all levels of company personnel, ranging from general security awareness and security management to detailed technical training.

The introductory special cost for each course is $99. Annual updates are $39.95. CD's are $10.00 each if purchased with the course. Site license pricing is available.
