\nIt is important to remember that every employee, vendor, and supplier could become an ex-employee, ex-vendor, or ex-supplier.
\nDisaffected employees and spurned business partners can cause significant damage if their access to systems and data is not revoked.
\nIT should be notified when an employee is leaving or when a contract is expiring to prevent any potential harm to the corporate network.
\nThe convenient Post-It Note on the move
\nIT departments frequently deploy new computers, resulting in a constant creation and alteration of IDs and passwords on the network.
\nWriting down login credentials on paper and leaving them near workstations poses a significant security risk, as passwords can easily be stolen.
\nTo prevent unauthorized access, ensure that the IT department has a secure method for distributing IDs and passwords to end users without resorting to insecure practices.
\nData in a state of rest may not stay that way
\nData encryption requires a balance between security and usability
\nClear policy creation is essential for IT departments
\nEmployees need to be educated on encryption policies and best practices
\nMistreated by the App Store’s actions
\nPopular apps like Evernote, Dropbox, and Google Docs can give third parties access to corporate data
\nUnauthorized software installations by employees are a major cause of corporate data loss incidents
\nCompanies of all sizes can be affected, as seen with Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized email provider usage
\nBlind faith resulting in a blame-filled storm
\nCompanies must trust employees, but blind trust in IT security is risky
\nEdward Snowden incident shows the dangers of unwarranted security access
\nIT should strictly compartmentalize data access to minimize risks and regularly audit access rights
\nThe human element is the key to classic hacking
\nPhishing emails can be successful in deceiving individuals.
\nPoliteness can sometimes hinder a company’s security efforts when employees struggle to decline sharing internal information.
\nRegular training on IT security risks and protective measures is essential for all employees, especially those who interact with customers.
\nSurprise! Spam! And gratitude, madam
\nCreating a list of employee names, titles, and contact information is a common solution.
\nThis list is often shared among corporate offices and may be given to external companies.
\nHowever, this can lead to security risks and potential cybercrime incidents.
\nFreedom comes at a significant cost
\nUnsecured WiFi hotspots pose a security risk for corporate devices
\nEncouraging employees to use paid, secure internet services can benefit the company
\nIT security should educate employees on safe network usage and provide tools like VPN encryption
