In the current economic climate, workforce reductions are common, prompting a spotlight on the operational consequences of layoffs. However, a critical element often overlooked is security during offboarding. When employees leave, especially in mass layoffs, the process is frequently uncoordinated, with many former employees retaining access to sensitive data—nearly 90% in some cases. This oversight poses significant risks, including data breaches and regulatory issues. Organizations need to adapt their identity and access management systems to prioritize secure offboarding to mitigate these threats effectively.
Insider threats often stem from inadequate offboarding processes, with nearly 90% of former employees retaining access to sensitive systems post-departure, highlighting security vulnerabilities.
Despite improvements in hiring practices, organizations frequently overlook the critical need for efficient offboarding, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
