What requirements are there for security training?

ECept Education > Online Course

Q. We are currently updating our business strategy and we are thinking of offering training courses in IT security. We are probably looking at developing some 1-day courses, looking at particular aspects of security in reasonable detail. The sort of things we might include are, for example, "firewalls", "BS7799", "Java security", "viruses", "encryption", etc, etc. What I am trying to get a handle on is which topics would be of the most interest to people. The question I'd really like a (one word or phrase will do!) answer to is: "If your boss called you in and said that he/she was willing to pay for you to go on a one-day training course in IT security, but you could choose the topic, what would you choose?"

A. My gut reaction is waste of money. Second thought is - who are these courses aimed at and what is the purpose? Personally I find the whole area of internet security intriguing, but I know you can't learn it all (or even barely scrape the surface ) in one day.
