Re: A user granted with admin rights failed a phishing test

G'day Jared,

I would most certainly revoke Admin Rights until the individual can pass
some of the assessments associated with the Cyber Security Training.
Allude the individual that there would be some form of auditing /
supervision for a graceful period. In the interim, monitor appropriate
audit logs for a graceful period to make sure the individual is adhering to
protocols.
Additionally, have the individual sign some form of legal binding paperwork
with the understanding and acknowledging that the individual is obligated
to operate within protocols and anything otherwise would result in some
form of disciplinary action, with the prospect of work dismal.

Cheers,
Pete

Hello,

I would ask about what actions are typically taken when a user who has
been granted admin rights (limited to few workstations within their
workspace) failed a phishing test with the user giving out the user
credentials.

Additional cybersecurity training is a given but are the admin rights
temporarily revoked until the training is completed?
