During an investigation, it was determined that an employee leaked company system administrative credentials on a public social media site. What is the IS auditor’s FIRST recommendation?
Changing privileged passwords is a critical first step to mitigate the potential security risks associated with the leaked credentials. This action helps prevent unauthorized access to systems and sensitive information. After changing passwords, further investigation and analysis can be conducted, including a forensic investigation if necessary, to determine the extent of the breach, identify any additional security measures needed, and address any policy violations by the employee. While legal actions like prosecution might be considered later based on the severity and nature of the incident, the immediate focus is on securing the systems by changing passwords.
