WASHINGTON (June 3, 2013) -- The Army published a new handbook this
month to provide leaders of all levels with the information and tools
needed to address today's cybersecurity challenges, and to ensure
organizations adopt the necessary practices to protect their information
and the Army network.
"We must change our culture, enforce compliance, and ensure that people
are accountable for proper security procedures," Secretary of the Army
John McHugh said in a Feb. 1 memo mandating Information
Assurance/Cybersecurity awareness training.
Currently, all Army commands are developing Information
Assurance/Cybersecurity awareness training to address areas of weakness
identified by the Army Information Assurance Self-Assessment Tool.
During the Army Cybersecurity Awareness Week, Oct. 15-18, commanders
will train personnel based on command plans and highlight the importance
of individual responsibilities.
"Beyond required security training, we need you to make certain that all
of your Soldiers, civilians, and contractors understand the threat they
pose to operational security by not complying with IA/Cybersecurity
policies and practices," McHugh said, addressing all Army leaders.
McHugh also directed all commands to incorporate Information Assurance
into their command inspection programs.
More information and guidance are on the Army Information Assurance
One-Stop Shop portal which is CAC accessible.
