Feb 24, 2009—Information Security Policies: Keeping an Honest Employee Honest
There is a free newspaper publication in Atlanta called Creative Loafing that among other things posts items from the police blotters from the previous week. When I have the opportunity, I like to flip through and read the descriptions listed in the paper. I always find it humorous and amazing how idiotic and daring criminals can be. The quantity of these idiotic daring people is also amazing. For the sake of this article let’s refer to these people as NTBBBs (Need To Be Behind Bars). With such a large number of NTBBBs out there, when the economy takes a downward swing, it is not surprising that these people become less cautious. As the money crunch gets worse, people who would not associate with NTBBBs become NTBBS overnight. One of the hottest topics in banking for 2009 is insider threats. As pressure mounts in people’s personal lives, they are more likely to see lapses in security or abundance of trust as an opportunity to help their economic cause.
