You are part of an IT support team for a large company. In the past, employees have unintentionally compromised the computer system by not having strong passwords, clicking on hoax links, and other activities. It is your job to help create an educational pamphlet that outlines “best practices for safe and secure employee computer use.” Create a sample pamphlet keeping in mind the goal of explaining to non-IT people why these best practices are important
best practices for safe and secure employee computer use:
- Do not click suspicious links within the home network (Ex. HTTP,
foreign/irrelevant website): When you get an email or alert from
emails or other media make sure to hover the link before click on
it. If you hover it, you can view the website full address.
Validate the website before clicking on it from the work
device.
- Identify phishing websites: Phishing means using the design of exactly the original website collecting information from the end user. For example www.facebokk.com, it is not facebooked website but depicts like this and we tend to enter the username/password since the website looks exactly as same as original facebook webpage.
- Use encryption and crypto techniques: Do not store the confidential information like passwords, pin etc locally without encryption or some passwords to open it. Use built-in encryption tools.
- Strengthen protocol security: Make sure your device follows the protocols.
- Update the systems regularly: Make sure the system updated
regularly.
- Validate the data before sending to avoid SQL injection based attacks
- Use strong passwords: The password should not be your name, mobile no or easy to guess value. It should be a combination of lower, upper case letters, special characters, the password which have not used earlier and it should be changed every 3 months.
