Chapter 3.4: Security and free time
Do we care about security only during working hours or 24/7?
by Enrique Eguren and Marie Caraj
SendAlthough it is difficult to make the distinction between the organisation’s policies
and the autonomy of every member during their free time, the prevention of
attacks and reactions to them make no difference between attacks during working hours and those carried out during free time... We must not forget that if a
person decides to attack an organisation via its members, they will not do it in
working hours, but at times when defenders are at their most vulnerable. A per-
son planning an attack against a defender will search for an opportunity to do
so. We must also bear in mind that an attack at night, or on leaving a club, etc.
will be much easier to cover up...
