How theft of computer time may be minimized:
1.Logging of access –This would enable the organization to identify instances
wherecomputer resources were used without authorization and take appropriate
action.
2.Electronic door lock access systems, which are capable of denying access to
andindividual depending on the current time. These ensure that employees do not use
computer rooms outside work hours.
3. Security guards. The guards could be instructed to deny employees entry to thefirm‘s
premises outside working hours.
4.Automatic log-off systems.These automatically log-off the user when the
allocatedtime has expired or when a user is trying to gain access outside the allocated
computer usage times.
5.Usernames and passwords could be granted to authorized employees
thuspreventing unauthorized employees from using an organization‘s computers.
6.Controlled single entry points to computer rooms.A controlled entry
pointmonitored by a receptionist should be used by all incoming personnel. In this
way, the receptionist could be used to monitor the employees accessing the computers
and the times in which access is taking place.
