Ghosts in the office? What about ghosts in your network? 👻 Here are five real monsters that might be haunting your systems:
🧟 Zombie accounts: logins for former employees that never got turned off. The fix: disable accounts on the last day and review access every quarter.
👻 Ghost devices: laptops and phones nobody is tracking. The fix: keep a live device inventory and manage every device that touches your data.
🍬 Tricks that look like treats: phishing emails dressed up as a vendor, a boss, or a package. The fix: treat every financial related request with suspicion.
🕶️ Shadow IT: apps your team signed up for that IT never reviewed. The fix: give your team approved tools so they don’t go hunting for their own.
🤖 AI that knows too much: sensitive data pasted into public AI tools. The fix: set a simple AI use policy and clean up file permissions before you turn AI on.
Happy Halloween from our ghostly team 🎃
