Belief & Culture: Build Awareness

For this module, your task is to apply what you have learned about the importance of belief & culture in information security management and how to build awareness and proper perceptions to an information security issue of your choice. Such an issue can remain the same or be different from your chosen issue(s) in other module(s).

If you have your own experiences can come from your organizational work or from your personal life. If you don`t have any experiences on this topic (which I hardly think so) or you think your experiences are not interesting enough, then find a public issue, interview people, or do some search on the Internet.
