Workplace deviance is a malicious attack described as having the deliberate desire to cause harm to an organization- more specifically a workplace. This harm could affect the functionality of an organization, as well as cause financial strain. The in-depth knowledge of computer systems required to be employed within the field of cyber security allows for greater probability of workplace deviance taking place. Someone with above average knowledge in computer systems could potentially cover their tracks long enough to obtain valuable information. Workplace deviance could begin with a disgruntled current or former employee. A former employee could also potentially be a threat to a business. That individual’s access to information could be continued through error within the organization leading to the ability to access sensitive information after termination of employment with the organization. A current employee could use their skills in order to perform an unethical attack upon their employer to gain information for leverage or for use outside of the workplace in an attempt to make their own, likely financial, gain. This attack may be quickly discovered, or the employee may be able to gather a large amount of information due to lying undetected in the background. Once found out, the employee would face the repercussions of their actions, but the business will suffer loss as well. Over 25% of attacks on organizations are carried out by insiders. A current employee could also mistakenly be given access to information that they should not be able to access. Any of these scenarios are likely due to the large percentage, 95%, of attacks caused due to human error within an organization. By employing standards to keep their information safe, an organization could lower the chances of their stored information becoming compromised. Some signs to be weary of within an organization that foul play could be at hand is the use of personal computer systems by employees, a change in demeanor by the employee, or the sudden acquisition of items that are abnormal for their financial status.
