Happy SysAdmin Day!

Seemingly insignificant acts can lead to consequences so significant in the damages they cause. The violations we saw in this video are the best examples of this.

• Violation 1 – Leaving your device unlocked

  In the first scenario, the employee leaves his desk with his laptop unlocked to join his colleague. Now the laptop and the confidential information it contained is left open for anyone to view. This could very well be the cause of a massive data breach.

• Violation 2 – Clicking a phishing link

  In the second scenario, the employee innocently clicks a phishing link shared through email without verifying the source of the mail, putting his entire device and his data at risk. Classic phishing attack!

• Violation 3 – Misusing permissions

  FInally, in the third scenario, the employee lets another colleague in the office using his ID to bypass the verification scanner without considering that they might not even have access to that particular space or floor. Authentication is taken for a toss here.
