Security Tip
1
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) - employees should only access what they need for their job
2
Monitor and audit file access regularly to detect unusual behavior patterns
3
Conduct mandatory security awareness training covering acceptable use policies
4
Use data loss prevention (DLP) tools to prevent unauthorized data transfers
5
Establish a clear offboarding process to revoke access immediately when employees leave
