You know exactly who I’m talking about.
They show up late. They do the bare minimum. They’re just engaged enough to keep getting a paycheck—but not enough to actually care.
You’ve got employees who are barely fogging a mirror, and they are the ones who will burn your business to the ground.
They’re the ones who click the phishing link. The ones who reuse the same password everywhere. The ones who will take a bribe if the price is right.
And if you think that last one is a stretch, you’re wrong.
Studies show one in five employees would sell their company password for less than $1,000.
The same guy who doesn’t bother locking his screen when he leaves his desk? The same one who keeps his login written on a sticky note under his keyboard? If a hacker offered him a quick payday, you really think he’d say no?
If you aren’t locking down your data, you’re betting your company on the weakest link in your team.
You Can’t Fire Everyone, But You Can Control the Damage
The easy answer is to get rid of them. Fire the ones who don’t care. Cut out the risk.
But what do you do while they’re still collecting a paycheck?
Because right now, your weakest employee holds the keys to your business.
If your permissions are set up wrong, a hacker doesn’t just get their data—they get everything.
That’s why least privilege access isn’t optional.
No one should have access to more than what they need.
Your receptionist doesn’t need access to payroll. Your accounting team doesn’t need HR files. Your marketing intern doesn’t need full admin rights to your entire cloud environment.
Think about it this way: Would you hand your front desk employee a master key to every door in the building? One that also starts your car?
Of course not.
So why are you doing it with your data?
Your Employees Will Screw Up—It’s Your Job to Limit the Damage
Because here’s the thing: It’s not if someone messes up. It’s when.
Someone will click the wrong link. Someone will get tricked into handing over credentials. Someone will do something stupid.
If you don’t have least privilege access in place, that one mistake becomes a total catastrophe.
So fix it now—before your weakest employee hands the keys to your entire business over to an attacker.
