Applying Common Sense

Sophisticated security systems can fail if common sense is not used.


Examples:

Fancy lock on computer room door, door propped open
List of instructions not secure
User ID, password taped to monitor
Password obvious (for example, person's name)
References not checked when hiring
Confidential diskettes left out in open

APPLYING COMMON SENSE COSTS NOTHING
