-How has cyber technology created opportunities for workplace deviance?

Cyber technology has created opportunities for deviance in the workplace by making it easier and allowing it to go undetected. For many individuals that don’t work in information technologies or cybersecurity, access list and security groups are hard to understand. The people that control those access lists and groups are system admins or security managers, and yes they can make mistakes from time to time. Often those admins are an after thought when it comes to informing them about personnel changes or role changes. When such changes occur that individual or user that was laid off, demoted, or promoted, might still have access to files and information that they no long need to access. If that individual became disgruntled and wanted to seek out revenge on the company or it’s clients, then that access would make it easy for them to delete important files, manipulate important data, or even steal and sell to a competitor. If the network doesn’t have reliable logging, data back ups, or auditing in place then that user could go about the deviance pretty much undetected and unnoticed.
