A company aims to minimize security risks resulting from unintentional actions by its employees. Which managerial control should the company implement to achieve this goal?
Provide comprehensive security awareness training to employees
Use surveillance cameras to monitor workplace activities
Implement multi-factor authentication for system access
Install firewalls to prevent unauthorized network access
Providing comprehensive security awareness training to employees educates them about potential threats, company security policies, and safe practices. This managerial control directly addresses the issue of human error by enhancing employee awareness and reducing the likelihood of security incidents caused by inadvertent actions. Installing firewalls and implementing multi-factor authentication are technical controls that protect systems but do not influence employee behavior. Using surveillance cameras is a physical control that monitors activities but does not prevent unintentional security breaches by uninformed staff.
