How has cyber technology created opportunities for workplace deviance?

Workplace deviance is when someone deliberately tries to harm a certain organization. This could be done employees, ex employees, or anyone around the organization at any given time. Workplace deviance can be very harmful and damaging since employees know how the organization operates and how to appropriately attack it.

As cyber technology improves different ways to cyber attack will as well. This important to keep in mind. As organizations improve their security measures they must keep in mind that hackers outside the organization might not be the only threat. Organizations must also watch out for the employees that work for them. Employees may decide to go rogue for many reasons.

It is important to watch out for attacks from employees because they most likely know more about the organization than anyone. If an employee gets fired they may decide to get revenge on that organization. Having preventative measures on employees can be important in saving an organization from workplace deviance.

Organizations can do many things to try and prevent workplace deviance. For example, organizations should survey employees stress levels, have proper workplace surveillance, treat everyone fairly, and have a plan when employees are fired. When employees get fired it is important that their usernames and passwords are no longer in any systems so that they cannot log in and damage any important information.
