At our workplace it is standard & strictly enforced (called out) policy to lock your screen before leaving your computer unattended. For me this has become an automatic action.
I think USSTRATCOM could benefit from the same policy.

On the third hand, having a very young child anywhere near my work computer unsupervised would be the stuff of nightmares..
Smashing keyboard is great fun.
One of my kids new favorite thing is to sneak into office and stay hidden. Usually I notice right away, but not always.
I worked in far less sentitive settings, but all these IP policies pretty much engrain this in my mind. Locking before moving away from my desk is muscle memory by now.
A second child is my guess. Or they were still in the room but inattentive. That kind of muscle memory would trigger when you're leaving your work area, and when working from home that would probably expand to your whole office.
Surprised those devices aren't in more widespread usage.
Productivity is not a concern for many IT security managers.
Then I had an ex-girlfriend get quite upset with me for always locking my computers when I was away from them.
I’m not arguing against it, but it’s one of the earliest deep feelings I had about office policies.
Locking the screen in a high trust environment communicates and disturbs the vibes. Should work be high trust? Plenty of people would leave my body in a dumpster for saying yes. I’d trust a co-worker before a girlfriend though (ie. Pre-marriage, non-contractial partner). I can follow policy as it relates to contractual home partners.
In our office it is encouraged because we work on projects for multiple different clients. In some cases competing clients and we are required to partition the knowledge internally. Even if it isn't quite that serious we try to keep detailed information about the project inside the project team.
Making sure I follow. You're saying 'trust' within your team meaning they have all good intentions and 'trust' meaning they never overlook anything or make a mistake.
So as a result you don't do PRs?
See it all the time on public transport ;)
This is for initial login, once you are in you should be using a password manager, but until you type that initial password you can't get to the manager. (Never put work logins into your personal password manager!)
