Cyber Security Through Restriction

When it comes to users and security, the tactic of restricting users’ access can help make systems more secure. TechTarget does a great job outlining the categories of this tactic. A quick Google search will pump out myriads of articles in regards to the dangers of not limiting administrative access to business devices. The city of Germantown has taken this one step further where they placed an alderman’s email in a restricted status; the article found on infosecurity-magazine.com explains that the neighboring city of Collierville was hit with a ransomware attack which prompted the 45 minute training to be mandatory which the alderman still has not taken.
