"managers should work to identify and reduce sources of stress for their teams, since working under more-stressful conditions can impact employees’ consistency in following security protocols (not to mention their well-being and effectiveness across a slew of other metrics). In particular, especially as remote work becomes more common, managers should be cognizant of the psychological burden to employees of working under systems that monitor them. Surveillance systems that seemed reasonable in the office might feel intrusive at home — and even if there’s no obvious, direct fallout, our research suggests that the added stress could indirectly make people more likely to break security protocols."—Clay Posey & Mindy Shoss

Research: Why Employees Violate Cybersecurity Policies

In the face of increasingly common (and costly) cyberattacks, many organizations have focused their security investments largely on technological solutions. However, in many cases, attacks rely not on an outsider’s ability to crack an organization’s technical defenses, but rather on an internal employee knowingly or unknowingly letting a bad actor in. But what motivates these employees’ actions? A recent study suggests that the vast majority of intentional policy breaches stem not from some malicious desire to cause harm, but rather, from the perception that following the rules would impede employees’ ability to get their work done effectively. The study further found that employees were more likely to violate policy on days when they were more stressed out, suggesting that high stress levels can reduce people’s tolerance for following rules that seem to get in the way of doing their jobs. In light of these findings, the authors suggest several ways in which organizations should rethink their approach to cybersecurity and implement policies that address the real, underlying factors creating vulnerabilities.

Subject: Proper Server Usage and Power Supply Etiquette

Attention everyone,

It has come to our attention that there have been instances of unauthorized and inappropriate use of the servers' power supply in recent weeks. We would like to remind all personnel about the importance of adhering to proper server usage protocols and refraining from actions that can disrupt critical operations. Specifically, we must address the issue of unplugging servers to connect personal devices, such as the Hitachi Magic Wand.

While we understand the desire for personal convenience, it is crucial to recognize the severe implications of such actions. The servers within our infrastructure are vital components of our intelligence-gathering capabilities and national security efforts. Unplugging them, even momentarily, can lead to significant disruptions, data loss, and compromised operations. 🚫⚡️

We must prioritize the security and integrity of our systems above personal indulgence. It is not appropriate to compromise the stability and reliability of our server infrastructure for personal use, regardless of the nature of the device. Such actions not only jeopardize national security but also reflect poorly on our professionalism and commitment to our mission.

As employees of the NSA, we are entrusted with protecting sensitive information and safeguarding the nation's interests. This responsibility extends to respecting the sanctity of our server rooms and adhering to established guidelines for their operation. The uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is specifically designed to provide uninterrupted power to the servers, ensuring their reliable and continuous operation. It is not intended for personal use or the connection of unauthorized devices. 🛡💡

We urge all staff members to familiarize themselves with the NSA's policies regarding server usage, power supply management, and acceptable technology practices. Violations of these policies will not be tolerated, and appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken for any infractions. Our duty to protect the nation demands strict adherence to these guidelines.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding server usage or any other technology-related matters, please consult your supervisor or the IT department for guidance. Your cooperation in maintaining the security and reliability of our infrastructure is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[REDACTED]
DC Security Manager
