An employee in your organization has been consistently leaving his workstation unlocked when stepping away for short breaks. This behavior might expose the company to security threats. As part of security awareness practices, how should this issue be best addressed to prevent potential unintentional insider threats?
Conducting regular training sessions on operational security
Installing a firewall on the employee's workstation
Limiting physical access to the office to authorized personnel only
Requiring biometric authentication before accessing the company systems
The correct answer is 'Conducting regular training sessions on operational security,' because it reinforces the importance of keeping workstations secure to all employees, including highlighting the risks associated with leaving workstations unlocked. 'Installing a firewall' wouldn't address the specific behavior of the employee. 'Requiring biometric authentication' might secure the workstation initially, but if it remains unlocked, the threat persists. 'Limiting physical access to the office' would not address the specific issue of workstations being left unlocked by employees already inside the secure area.
