Paper Abstract:      IT security is highly important for companies. The subject of IT security management is the development of techniques that ensure the security of information systems. Actual surveys show, that human actions are the predominant reason for operational disturbances. In regard to this fact IT security management has to be extended by specific elements that focus on human behaviour. In this article therefore a security awareness management (SAM) is presented. In order to gain insight into about this new field of security management first theoretical foundations of behavioural science are analysed with respect to its use for SAM. These findings serve as a basis for the development of a process model for the implementation of SAM in practice. In order to prove the model, results of its application in a project at the European Research Center for Information Systems are presented. To handle the individual complexity for the users deriving from the too large amount of learning content a procedure model was invented to identify individual learning topics with a process based system and risk analysis. Finally the lessons learned out of this approach are summed up and perspectives for further research are highlighted.
