The Vendor's Call
Part of the Security Fundamentals section of Coddy's Cybersecurity journey. Lesson 37 of 43.
Challenge
MediumTicket from Sam, IT lead
A caller claiming to be our supplier wants an urgent password reset. Two other supplier requests ask to repair a feed and to keep permanent admin access.
Read how each caller was checked and what work the owner approved. Approve only the request that has both a verified caller and permission for that work. Deny the others. Do not reset employee passwords or change the administrators group.
