Workplace deviance is when someone who works at a company violates the rules for their own personal gain. There is no exception to this in the cyber world either. Unfortunately there are people who, if an opportunity arises, will take advantage of their position to benefit them usually financially. With technology advancements the past few years it has made workplace deviance a much easier task to perform and therefore more tempting. Computers for example are perfect ways that people can do things they normally wouldn’t have been able to do without getting caught. Let’s say someone wanted to look at a file they weren’t supposed to be able to. Without a computer they would have to find the hard copy of that file and then read it there before putting it back which is risky and could be easily caught, while on the other hand with computers all they would need is access information like a password and they would be able to access it and print a copy without anyone ever knowing what they were doing in the first place. This is only one specific example of how technology can be used to take part in workplace deviance much easier than if technology was not around to assist. For these reasons its important that cybersecurity personnel are trusted people because they have access to a lot of information. Having someone run security on all technological systems means they have access to anything and everything that are on those devices which most of the time is sensitive and confidential information. Workplace deviance is a big problem within any workplace but technology has only made it worse. It gives people a much easier way to partake in these actions with a smaller chance of being caught and facing consequences and higher chance of reward.
