How to Secure Conference Room PC Security | NinjaOne

What you'll learn

• Enable Automatic Logoff : Set Windows to automatically log off users after a period of inactivity (e.g., 15 minutes). This prevents unauthorized users from accessing data left on the screen.
• Use Strong Passwords : Enforce complex passwords and regular password changes for all user accounts.
• Enable Multi-Factor Authentication ( MFA ) : Add an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through a second method (e.g., a code sent to their phone).
• Restrict Physical Access : Limit who can physically access the conference room and the PCs. Use locks, access control systems, or surveillance cameras if needed.
• Use Account Lockout Policies : Configure Windows to lock out accounts after multiple failed login attempts. This prevents brute-force attacks.
• Regularly Update Software : Keep the OS, applications, and firmware up to date with the latest security patches.
• Monitor User Activity : Use NinjaOne’s monitoring tools to track logins, logoffs, and other user activities. Set alerts for suspicious behavior.
• Educate Users : Train employees on security best practices, such as not sharing passwords and reporting suspicious activity.
