Locking Laptop When Unattended

Overview

All GitLab team members must follow the clean desk / clear screen principle and keep their computers locked when not actively being used and any sensitive GitLab information must be stored and secured when not in use when working from a shared or public space.

In other words…

• Never leave your unlocked computer unattended.
• Activate the screensaver, lock the desktop, or close the lid.
• When possible, sign out or close active web browser sessions when finished.
• If using public wireless networks, you should disable WiFi on your laptop when not in use or when traveling to avoid network traffic interception or use Nordlayer VPN.

Screen Saver and Password Lock

No Action Required: This has been automatically configured by Jamf, however verification is recommended.

• Set up a screen saver with password lock on your laptop with a timeout of 15 minutes (or less).
• Require password after screen saver starts after 5 seconds (or less).
• Disable password hints
• Configure login window to show a list of users and not the last signed in user
