NIST Special Publication 800-50, Building An Information Technology Security Awareness and Training Program, (Final Version) provides guidance for building an effective information technology (IT) security program and supports requirements specified in the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Appendix III.

Failure to give attention to the area of security training puts an enterprise at great risk because security of agency resources is as much a human issue as it is a technology issue. — NIST SP 800-50.
