We are all getting computer security tips and tidbits from all directions. So much so that sometimes we are forgetting about the simple stuff.
We all know that large databases need to be protected. We know to have a personal password policy and all that other stuff.
But sometimes we forget that the scraps of paper that float around our offices can be just as valuable to someone trying to obtain information they otherwise shouldn't have.
Don't forget about the printed reports you generate and pieces of mail that have been opened and you are just stepping away for a moment or to.
Keep information on paper away from prying eyes. Use a shredder when the information is no longer needed or you considered out of date for your personal use.
When you get to the office on Monday, look at your desk. What can you learn from what is around from just what you see.
