What constitutes a breach of security protocols?

A breach of security protocols occurs when established procedures designed to protect sensitive information, personnel, and property are not followed. This violation can manifest in various ways, such as unauthorized access to restricted areas, failure to report security incidents, or neglecting to follow proper verification processes. By violating established procedures, individuals compromise the safety and security systems in place and create vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors.

In contrast, adhering to all security measures, routine monitoring of security policies, and reporting suspicious activities are actions that reinforce security protocols and enhance overall safety. These actions are integral to maintaining a secure environment and ensuring that all personnel are vigilant and have a clear understanding of their roles in protecting assets and information.
