Cybersecurity Risk With Seasonal Workers

For many businesses, this is the season for rapid short-term hiring. There are risks that come with a hiring surge, and this post from RSA Security suggests some practices that will minimize that risk. Seasonal workers must be able to access the systems and data they will need, but it’s crucial that access be controlled, limited to precisely what’s needed, and that it can be “deprovisioned” or adjusted as soon as the season is over. The practices recommended in this post will also be applicable more generally throughout the year.
