Lock your Screen When you Leave the Scene – 02/07/18

Just a friendly reminder to lock your screen EVERY TIME you leave your workstation unattended. In the time it takes to get a print out or go to the kitchen to throw out garbage, your workstation can be compromised. The hackers need less than a minute to access your workstation and load malware that runs in the background. The malware can be present for months, giving the criminals access to the network and our data without you even being aware that it is there.

It is not enough to say, “Well I usually lock my screen but sometimes I forget.” Usually will not keep our network safe. Always will. Join us in the fight against cyber crime. Be a super hero and lock your screen EVERY TIME!
