An organization has experienced incidents where unauthorized individuals accessed sensitive information because employees frequently leave their workstations unlocked when away from their desks. As a network administrator, which security program element would best mitigate this vulnerability?
Installing surveillance cameras throughout the office
Implementing strong password policies
Conducting user awareness training on security practices
Deploying biometric access control systems on all doors
Conducting user awareness training on security practices is the most effective way to address the issue of employees leaving their workstations unlocked. By educating employees about the risks associated with leaving computers unattended and unlocked, they are more likely to adopt secure habits, such as locking their screens when stepping away. While implementing strong password policies enhances account security, it does not prevent unauthorized access to an already logged-in and unlocked workstation. Installing surveillance cameras may deter some unauthorized access but does not actively encourage employees to secure their workstations. Deploying biometric access control on doors enhances physical security but does not address the issue of unattended, unlocked computers within the secured area.
