CMIT 425 Week 5 Discussion
The subject of this training session is: Access Controls and Why They Matter.
Task:
Give a presentation at an online training session for employees who are now working from home.
For this training, focus on the need to use Access Controls to protect corporate assets and data which are accessible via equipment and networks within the Work From Home setting.
In your talking points, consider and address the frustrations that employees may feel when they encounter access controls that are not set up to allow the same type of “inside” access as employees had when working on company equipment inside company networks.
Finally, address some potential “insider threats” which may exist in the Work From Home environment that need the countermeasures provided by access controls. Such threats could include the actions of others residing in the home who have access to the employee’s laptops or who use the same networks and network connections.
