In Pictures: Security mistakes right at your workspace

Whiteboard covered with writing

This white board includes names from a client list, and other financial figures that the employee's company might not want to fall into a competitors hands. Easily viewed from outside the office through a window, the information written on this white board is open for anyone to see, even those with bad intentions.

Takeaway: Use white boards appropriately and privately. Clean off information that could be considered sensitive (or get one of those nifty whiteboards with security features). Consider the position of your desk and workspace when it comes to windows and doors. Could someone easily spy on you?
