Its never easy to manage all the information that comes in and out of the company at a daily basis. That is why big companies don't do this manually. Systems are developed to facilitate the smooth flow of monitoring including the log in details that every worker use when they access data for work.
One of the information managed by a business is the personal data of its employees. As their employer, the business has a professional responsibility to ensure that none of their information is leaked outside the business premise. Several mechanisms are devised to facilitate this. One of them is the active directory password reminder.
This system has one primary role. It reminds every individual as to the expiration date of their password and encourages them to change it before the due date ends. The staff in charge of handling this system programs it and inputs command detailing the frequency and the time when you will be receiving the reminders.
The administrators are given the authority to decide on the schedule of the reminders. They can also send it through your mobile number and email. Unless you don't make some effort to change it, which can only take two to three minutes, the notifications will keep on coming.
Another efficient thing about using this system is you get to set up a separate reminder for those high ranking officials of the company. They could be reminded to change their log in more often than the employees under their command. The admin just needs to input the command.
Theres a lot of money to the classified info found on the company's database. When these data are sold out to the wrong hands, the business can suffer great losses. This is why companies invest thousands even millions of money to make sure that their information is well protected. Otherwise, the damage can be priceless.
Prior to the creation of this mechanism, it has been proven that passwords can easily be stolen if enough time is given. This is what company's are trying to avoid. And since verbal announcement of the need to change the details seemed not to be working, then a system has to be established to force it to the employees. And frankly, what is wrong with spending three minutes to change to a new one. If it can do a lot to secure your data, then its definitely worth it.
Perhaps you haven't considered the gravity of care that you need to place on the data, especially the personal ones that are recorded on the company's database. But if you see the repercussions, you will understand why it has to be protected at all cost. It doesn't matter what position you are holding. As long as you are working within the company you have the role to protect its interest and vice versa.
Your personal data is your responsibility. Do not be passive about it. Apart from safety purposes, you also have the responsibility to abide by the rules set by the company.
