Seasonal Employees and Cyber Security

Author’s assertions on cybersecurity risks in the workplace

I agree with the author's point of view on workplace cybersecurity for seasonal workers.

Because of the enormous amount of sensitive data stored in these establishments, cyber security

giving temporary employees too much access and neglecting to instruct them on how to protect

themselves against cyberattacks. For example, in the hotel sector, a front desk clerk's

responsibilities include checking in and tending to visitors, answering phones, and initiating

payments, among others. If an evil person gets access to this information, it might lead to many

problems in the hotel.

Managers can make reasonable efforts to limit the cybersecurity risks of seasonal or

temporary staff by mandating them to receive the same training as long-term employees.

According to statistics, organizations that provide phishing training are less likely to experience

cybersecurity breaches than companies that do not provide sensitive security training (Bonderud,

2016). As a result, it's best to apply the same security measures to both short- and long-term

staff. Companies can also safeguard their digital assets by conducting background checks and

requiring all workers to complete security awareness training. Employers will be able to hire

trustworthy staff and avoid hiring persons who intend to sabotage the firm using this procedure.

Another step should be applying the principle of least privilege. For example, an housekeeping

attendant demands a physically fit individual mainly because of their duties. Therefore, it is
