How has cyber technology created opportunities for workplace deviance?

Cyber technology has created opportunities for workplace deviance in both avenues of lacking regulation or implementation and forms of white-collar cyber-crime. In the space of controllable variables there are ways that a company can try to lower the chance of cyber breaches, but it comes down to how well the program is implemented for the employees and if they follow it. A significant number of incidents are cause in large part by human error, it can start at the very foundation of a program such as mistakenly programming in a vulnerability; many can be sparked by mistakes or laziness such as simple passwords or not updating security software timely enough. A problem arises with the fact that many cyber-attacks can go unchecked for long periods of time if there is not proper management in place, particularly by former employees. If accounts are not properly handled with incoming and exiting employees, it is possible for former employees to have access to sensitive company data that can be sold to competitors. Another example would be if the case of incoming employees, if there are not proper vetting processes, a company can let in an attacker who has now been given an opportunity to physically get around many security applications and have more direct access to company data. Additionally, with cyber technology came the increased ability to operate anonymously. Now employees have increased opportunities to trade insider secrets with competitors and it is much easier to be a whistleblower on malpractice without putting your career at risk. By using applications like encrypted messaging, it is much harder to track down anyone who may be acting against the companies interests and if a company does not have proper account management, then they will have a much harder time who had access to the information in the first place.
