IT Dojo: Protect company assets during employee departures [video]
Employment transition is an often overlooked danger to company security. Whether it’s massive layoffs or routine separations, IT should have standard security policies in place that detail the steps to take when an employee leaves the company. In thisTechRepublic IT Dojo video, Bill Detwiler goes over four critical areas of employment transition security, including:
- User accounts
- Documentation
- Inventory
- Personal electronics
And because dismissals and departures can be traumatic for everyone involved, I recommend you read William Jones’, article “Sensitive tech support during employee departures.” Here, Jones outlines several ways that IT departments can humanely serve both the employee and the company during a staff member’s exit.
For those of you who prefer text to video, you can also read Chad Perrin’s article, “10 important categories of employment transition security,” on which this video is based.
