The first domain that would be affected is the User Domain. The User Domain defines the people who access an organization’s information system. One of the roles and tasks is that the user can access systems, applications, and data depending upon their defined access rights. Inside the User domain is where the user would find the acceptable user policy or AUP. The AUP defines what users are allowed to do within the organization-owned IT assets. The User Domain is considered the weakest and most affected domain. One reason why is that it has a lack of user awareness. Another reason is that when users are downloading various content and different files, they generally do not conform to the established security guidelines. To protect from these issues, there should be enabled content filtering as well as automatic antivirus scans. A way to protect from an user doing Employee blackmail or extortion is to enable intrusion detection system/intrusion prevention system (IDS/IPS) monitoring.
