Protect Computer Records from Departing Staff
When it comes to computer funny business, you have more to fear from your own staff than shadowy hackers. Employees account for 84% of lost confidential information, says IDC. Much of the losses stem from departing workers.
Advice: Ask IT if it backs up computer files daily. That can prevent losing important data permanently if a departing employees goes on a file-deleting rampage.
Tell security guards & receptionists to deny access to former employees, or have other workers notify you if they return. In one case, a recently fired employee walked past a security guard on a weekend, stole his company’s backup computer tapes & then tried to blackmail the company. When firing employees you’ve had a stormy relationship with, disable their computer access right after you break the news. Check their computer-use logs. For employees who give notice of leaving, limit their computer access and monitor their usage. |
