Most organizations have a clean desk policy, but do you have a clean desktop policy? A computer desktop serves as the primary user interface when you interact with your computer. A number of people like to put icons on their main screen to access frequently used files, folders, and applications instead of searching through directories.

The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) provides information on cybersecurity best practices to help individuals and organizations implement preventative measures and manage cyber risks.  

File security plays a crucial role in effective cybersecurity. It involves protecting files from unauthorized access, tampering, deletion, damage, and degradation.  Having files on your desktop easily accessible can lead to risks your current security software can’t prevent.  Simply leaving your computer unlocked should you step away to grab a coffee in public leaves you vulnerable.  Sensitive data should never be stored on your desktop wallpaper and if using an external drive, ensure it is encrypted and securely stored.

RegVerse, drawing upon the principles of the CIA Triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, emphasizes these principles on all platforms custom made for effective compliance management.  Responsible AI systems must stand strong against threats, including adversarial attacks.
