Would you know how to protect yourself, your data and your company in these real-life scenarios? Could you prevent the situation getting out of control? Would you - or your staff - know what to do if it did?...
You have been asked to chair the interview process of three potential
employees at a hotel in Milan. You arrive at Heathrow in order to
catch your flight to Milan only to find that the flight has been
cancelled. The airline offers you an alternative flight to Milan
that departs 30 minutes later. On arrival in Milan you find that
there are two airports, one close to the city centre and one about
100km away. You only have 20 minutes to get to the hotel...
What do you do?
You quickly sign the credit card slip at the restaurant and head off to the airport for your flight back to Manchester, which departs in two hours. The flight home is uneventful and arrives on time. However the following day your credit card is declined when paying for some fuel. You make a few calls and find that your quick end-of-trip meal has been billed at £1495.00 instead of £14.95. What next? How can this have occurred?
The oil company that you work for has asked if you can do a 3-week
stint on a Norwegian rig. Usually you work offshore out of Aberdeen,
so in your mind the North Sea is the North Sea, whether you work
out of Norway or the UK. Only Norway is colder. Your flights take
you from Leeds to Kristiansund, a small whaling town on the west
coast of Norway, via Amsterdam, Oslo and Bergen. You leave Leeds
at 8am and eventually arrive in Bergen at 8pm. Your final flight
of the day up to Kristiansund leaves at 9pm. Outside it has started
to rain. Eventually you arrive in Kristiansund at 10:30pm. You leave
the terminal building and find that the light rain of Bergen has
now turned to snow. There are no taxis to be seen so you start walking
the 4 miles into the town to find your hotel…
Should you have walked into town? What basic equipment should
you have to walk 4 miles in the snow in Northern Norway?
You place your laptop in its bag on the X-ray machine conveyor
and walk through the metal detector. The alarm sounds and the guard
asks you to empty your pockets. You'd left some change in them;
a simple mistake. The guard moves you on and you retrieve your laptop
bag from the end of the conveyor. You pick it up and walk on to
departures, where you plan to settle down and complete some work
that is pending. As you unzip the bag you find that there is no
laptop in it, in fact nothing in the bag is yours. Somehow you must
have picked up the wrong bag or someone else has switched bags.
How could this have happened? How could you prevent it from happening?
Where are your backup disks or memory sticks? Was the laptop password
protected? Was there confidential information on the laptop? What
else was in your bag?
It is January and you and you two colleagues are returning back
to base with all your rock samples stacked neatly in the back of
the 4x4, when you swerve to avoid a moose. You lose control of
the car and slide sideways off the road down the embankment. The
car rolls then comes to a standstill in the snow. You have blood
dripping from you head and your chest hurts. There are chunks of
rock all over the dashboard and in your lap.
Firstly would you know what to do next? Why are the rock samples
all over the inside of the car?
