CISM study material · question 394 of 1000

A manager must explain to the training team the difference between awareness and training as NIST defines them. Which statement is correct?

  1. Training teaches a skill so a person can perform a specific function; awareness focuses attention on an issue or set of issues
  2. Awareness is annual and training is continuous
  3. Awareness is measured by attendance records while training is measured by the opinion survey taken from the participants shortly afterwards
  4. Awareness is for technical staff and training is for everyone
Show the answer

Answer: A. Training teaches a skill so a person can perform a specific function; awareness focuses attention on an issue or set of issues

SP 800-100 separates the two by purpose: training builds a skill so someone can carry out a particular function, while awareness simply directs attention onto an issue.
