Answer: A
Assimilation of the framework and intent of a written
security policy by the users of the systems is critical to
the successful implementation and maintenance of security
policy. You may have a good password system, but if the
users of the system keep passwords written on his/her table,
the password system is of little value. Management support
and commitment is no doubt important, but for successful
implementation and maintenance of security policy, education
of the users on the importance on security is of paramount
importance. The stringent implementation, monitoring and
enforcing of rules by the security officer through access
control software and provision for punitive actions for
violation of security rules also are required along with the
user's education on the importance of security.
