| Titre | Best data security practices when offboarding employees |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. In times long gone, disgruntled former employees could only do so much damage to your company, and relatively little at all to your data security. In the fast-moving world of the 21st century, however, it’s a different story. Costly data breaches and devastating thefts have been undertaken in recent years by dissatisfied staff members released from their job duties. In fact, major data breaches caused by angry ex-employees even prompted an FBI report on the matter, with the risks posed by former staff members on an incline which has left CEOs feeling worried, vulnerable, and searching for reliable solutions. Make no mistake, offboarding employees is currently a situation which presents a considerable data security risk. If you’re wondering what to do when it comes to releasing a staff member who has access to sensitive material, or are concerned that former staff members still have access to your data, you’re far from alone. In this article, we’re going to look at the nature of this major issue, as well as presenting some essential best practices for avoiding the potential catastrophes this situation can create. Offboarding employees: Where does the data security risk lie? Most of us are aware of the risks associated with hackers and bad agents from the outside trying to access your data. We’re familiar with best practices for password security, and how to avoid the kind of common pitfalls that come with handling sensitive data on a daily basis. With the rise of pandemic-inspired remote work, a major data exposure risk now comes from improper vetting of outsourced hires. This used to be a smaller problem, but as outsourcing has increased exponentially, so has the potential to suffer a breach from the “outside” inside workforce. Dealing with these employees turned threats (or at least potential threats) who still possess passcodes, knowledge, and have recently added the potential motive to do harm is a scenario most companies find themselves relatively unprepared to deal with. The greatest risk? Quite simply, the loss or theft of the most sensitive corporate data stored in your systems. Dissatisfied or angry ex-employees often have the motivation to steal this kind of data and use it to blackmail your organization or sell it to the highest bidder on the Dark Web. If you think this would never happen in your company, think again. A Cyber-Ark survey found that no less than 88% of IT employees would consider stealing sensitive data if they were fired - which should be a worrying statistic to business owners and managers who care about data security! All of this makes one thing abundantly clear. An effective, thorough, and formal offboarding process is essential for avoiding this eventuality. Studies have shown that nearly 90% of employees are |
