Training and Knowledge Acquisition
The Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) is dedicated to enhancing information security education by creating and distributing training materials and resources, aimed at promoting effective information security practices and compliance with classification management directives.
To access these resources, simply visit the ISOO website, where you'll find a wealth of downloadable materials such as training modules, instructional guides, awareness presentations, and more. These resources are often freely available to federal employees, contractors, and sometimes the general public, in support of security education efforts.
For more specific guidance on available educational programs and resources, you can directly contact ISOO via email at [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].
It's worth noting that while the ISOO website may not provide explicit current details about their training offerings, this aligns with ISOO's role as the oversight body for the nation's classified information security program.
If you're seeking security training specific to federal research or information systems, other federal entities such as universities or departments may also provide mandatory security training, often referenced or aligned with ISOO standards.
Meanwhile, the Center for Development of Security Excellence (CDSE) offers a variety of security courses designed to help security personnel and contractors perform their jobs effectively. These courses are available in various formats.
On the ISOO website, you can find information about Classification Management, along with details about oversight requirements and additional tools for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The ISOO blog, ISOO Overview, is also a valuable resource for staying informed on all ISOO matters, with weekly posts available.
In summary, ISOO is committed to improving security education, providing training and guidance on information classification and security. Resources are accessible via the ISOO website or by direct inquiry with the office. Complementary training programs may be found through related federal agencies or institutions operating under ISOO guidance. The CDSE helps security personnel and contractors perform their jobs effectively, and the ISOO website is a rich source of information about Classification Management, the latest ISOO marking handbook, training aids, tips, training videos, and more. Security education plays a critical role in the effectiveness of an agency's information security program.
Engaging with ISOO's resources can support personal growth and learning by providing a wealth of downloadable materials focusing on information security education, which promote effective information security practices and compliance with classification management directives. These resources can be found on the ISOO website, and they are often free for federal employees, contractors, and sometimes the general public as part of ISOO's security education efforts.
