• People will violate your policies all day long…if you let them.

    03 Apr 2017

    I recently saw this out in front of a local restaurant where management was trying to resolve parking, sidewalk access, and traffic issues. Their “control” obviously doesn’t work:


    Be it parking cars or using computers, instant gratification is the name of the game. People want what they want. They want it right now. And, they will take the path of least resistance – and violate your policies in the process to get it – especially when enforcement is weak like in the picture above.  

    Good lesson for IT and information security leaders. Lots of room for improvement in this area.

Client Testimonials

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.

His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
