As the admin, only assign
the minimum rights and
permissions that are needed
to get the job done.
Least privilege is an effective security measure.
Unless the top level administration group is
compromised, it is easier to contain a breach.
People can get annoyed with this policy, as they
only have the bare minimum of rights and
permissions required to do their job.
Educate the users and avoid the creep of privileges.

– Help the user to understand security
risks.
– Train the user on:
» Strong passwords.
» Least privilege.
» Malware.
» Keeping up to date.
» Social engineering.
» Other attack vectors.
– Training can be formal and
documented.
– Training can be informal.

Antivirus software should be
installed, active, and up-to-
date on every machine.
Make sure your antivirus software is able to do its
job effectively. If it is not installed, it can’t stop an
virus. If it is not active, it can’t stop a virus. If it is not
up-to-date, it won’t recognize the virus.
IT security measures.
Page 10
Spyware is malicious code
that collects information
about the system and may
change some settings.
Antispyware can prevent that code from running. It
can also asses a system and help an administrator
or a user determine if spyware is present and what
level of threat it represents.
IT security measures.
Page 11
Software firewalls should be
installed and active on every
machine.
Firewalls are the traffic cops of network traffic. They
control the flow of data into and out of a PC and can
prevent malicious actions from occurring.

– User authentication.
» What you know.
» What you have.
» What you are.
» Combine the factors for increased security.
– Strong passwords.
» Strongest: random string of letters, numbers, and
symbols.
» Weakest: words, consecutive numbers, anything that’s
easily guessed.

Password suggestions.
1) Think of a phrase that can be remembered.
» IT security is essential.
2) Remove the spaces.
» Itsecurityisessential.
3) Replace some letters with numbers and symbols.
» 1Ts3curity1s3s$enti@l.
4) Replace some capital and lower case letters.
» 1tS3curity1s3S$enti@l.

“How secure is your system? It
all begins with you!”

IT security measures.
Only assign the minimum necessary rights and permissions needed to get
the job done. This helps to contain the problem when a breach occurs.
Topic.
Principle of least privilege.
Summary
Help people to understand what they don’t know. People will only adhere to
the security measures that they know and understand. Education can be
formal or informal.
User education.
Antivirus, antispyware, firewalls, user authentication, and strong passwords
all make for a more secure digital environment.Digital security.
