If the employees are treated well by the company and no one feels like they are getting little for doing the job while the company bosses are getting lots, then the " I will just steal this because the company owes me or I feel entitled because I do most of the work" opportunistic criminal becomes less of a threat in a company. Thanks for this video, cheers
I agree, Specifically because you said "less of a threat". Some people are just shitty and will steal even from kind and generous people. I think these scummy people are in the extreme minority and that most people are decent most of the time when they are in a decent environment.
Another aspect to consider is the impact on morale of the employees. I worked at a company where a few of the ladies had their wallets stolen from their unlocked desks. One of them was found (now empty) in the ladies room trash can. It caused a lot of suspicion and mistrust among the female staff.
Edward Snowden 'retrieved' hundreds of GB of sensitive data using a Lady Gaga Music CD. He had a R/W CD (Read/Write) and would continually carry it to work, delete all music except the first track, replace with sensitive data, and walk out with no one knowing. If the guard had listened to the CD he would have been blasted by some grating music and would consider Snowden a 'weirdo' and let him pass on by. Snowden was able to remove all that information for less than $1 in expendables. The habit of collecting 'minutiae' really adds up in the long run. How to prevent? No Personal Items Allowed Past Security. Nowadays I can record 1TB on a USB drive so small and thin I could fit it between my teeth. Good Luck!
@@DeviantOllam Looked into it, was Snowden. www.theregister.com/2013/06/14/nsa_whistleblower_used_usb_thumb_drive/ (be aware the article confuses a thumb drive with an RW CD)
You can try banning all personal items. But then people will get annoyed at your security policy and start breaking it in a dozen different ways. Don't let anyone take their cellphone inside the building? Pretty soon, people are taking calls outside where they can be overheard on their private phones...
Third. Haha. Beaten out by Deviant. One phrase I like to use is "your lock is only as secure as your lowest window" Hope everyone is staying safe, and taking care.
In the UK, there was a TV series about a lockpicking expert called Callan. He worked for the Security Services and said : "Do you know why I am so good at this job? I was trained never to take anyone on trust. You start off on one simple premise: Everything smells - yourself, the job you're doing, and the man who tells you to do it." Sometimes, the biggest threat to an organisation isn't the hacker from outside ; it's the girl or guy who's sitting at the desk opposite you ; watching what you're doing ; acquiring useful information from general chit-chat during the working day. There's always an element of premeditation (or at least predisposition) for the opportunistic criminal. But fortunately, it rarely goes further than pinching a bag of crisps from an opened multipack or 'borrowing' a can of cola from the office fridge. I used to set up booby traps to help colleagues deter the opportunistic thief. Party Poppers : rigged to detonate and shower the thief with streams of confetti when s(he) opened an unlocked desk drawer.
I worked in Research. We had fiber optic connected to a Research Stub on a T1 BackBone. Before the Internet was public. Amazing system. Anyways, we hired a new Russian IT guy who quickly found some Tom Foolery. One guy was running an Online Store on the servers operating behind air flow simulations that took days to compute. The more clever the employee the greater the potential risk.
You can get a grasp of the morality of a society by noting the occurrence of opportunistic criminals. A higher morale society would have much less of these criminals. Japan and Singapore is a perfect example. I can leave an expensive bar of gold on a park bench for a few days and I don't really have to worry about it getting stolen of course that's really bad practice and I don't encourage people to do that.
In Islamic Sharia law, the penalty for cutting off the hand of a thief can only be applied under many conditions, one of which is that the thief has stolen something that is secured (with lock or something similar) ، Other conditions for applying the penalty, related to the presence of an Islamic judge and ruler, the absence of suspicion of kinship, the absence of starvation or great need for the thief, the presence of a confession of the crime or witnesses, that the money reaches a specific amount or what is its value, that the matter reaches the judge (the owner of the money can They pardon him before the order reaches the court), that the thief has no suspicion of the money, and that the case is very clear without any doubts (a simple doubt that prevents the punishment), other than these conditions, the ruler can apply lighter penalties such as imprisonment, a fine, or perhaps flogging
