Why you shouldn't train employees for security awareness

If there's one myth in the information security field that just won't die, it's
that an organization's security posture can be substantially improved by
regularly training employees in how not to infect the company. [Editor's note:
See Joe Ferrara's recent article 10 commandments for effective security
training.]

It's frequently cited limitations become pluses when Chrome OS is viewed as a
