Tokenholder Responsibilities
You are responsible for protecting the
authentication factors entrusted to you. Keep your PIN secret and
protect your SecurID token against loss and theft.
If an unauthorized person learns your
PIN and obtains your SecurID token, this person can assume your
identity. Any action taken by this intruder will be attributed to
you in the systems security log.
For your own protection and that of the
system, always take the following precautions:
- Never reveal your PIN to anyone. Do
not write it down.
- If you think someone has learned
your PIN, notify the security administrator, who will
clear the PIN immediately. At your next login you will
have to receive or create a new PIN to use.
- If you have a PINPAD, clear the PIN
from your card by pressing the P key as soon as
your PASSCODE has been accepted.
- Exercise care not to lose your
SecurID token or to allow it to be stolen. If your token
is missing, tell an administrator immediately. The
administrator will disable it so that it is useless to
unauthorized users.
- Do not let anyone access the system
under your identity or log in with your PIN and a code
from your SecurID token.
- It is essential to site security
that you follow your systems standard logoff
procedures. Failure to log off properly can create a
route into the system that is completely unprotected.
- Protect your token from physical
abuse. Do not immerse it in liquids, do not expose it to
extreme temperatures, and do not put it under pressure or
bend it. Each SecurID token comes with care instructions
that you should read and follow.
