Scoping the module

So what is 'workplace infosec' about?  

• Working with, exploiting and protecting valuable information
• Working in traditional fixed offices (cubicles) or other locations e.g.:
• Factories 
• Warehouses
• Shops & retail outlets
• Farms, mines ...
• Schools, colleges, uni's
• Home offices
• Boardrooms, meeting rooms
• Vehicles e.g. cars, trucks, trains, planes, cabs, buses, bikes
• Portables e.g. laptops, tablets, smartphones
• Wearables - working on the go
• Temporary offices e.g. cafes, customer sites, departure lounges, waiting rooms, hotel rooms, rent-an-office
• Semi-public areas e.g. bank tellers, receptionists
• Home or abroad, maybe in space
• Up at the front line, perhaps even behind enemy lines
• Collaborative working (virtual teams)
• Audio/video conferencing 
• On the beach in NZ (that's us pictured above - in our dreams)
• Working online, connected over networks to the corporation's data and apps
• Working offline, using IT or not
• Working the usual 9-to-5 or 'out of hours', often alone and under stress
• Securing computer systems, storage media and comms facilities
• Securing non-IT information e.g. papers, knowledge

Variety is the name of the game, hence the information risks are bound to be varied too.  That's tomorrow's task.
