Beware of psychological loopholes becoming a catalyst for leaks, national security agencies remind

2025-12-09   

Your heart should have a "wall" of sturdy safes, encrypted networks, strict access controls, and layers of approval processes... Confidentiality management has become increasingly comprehensive under various measures. However, there are still a large number of cases of confidentiality breaches that warn us that psychological vulnerabilities often become the "catalyst" for leaks, leading to the loss of confidentiality work. The psychological "hidden reef" behind the leakage of confidential information - the mentality of ignorance. Having only a partial understanding of confidentiality regulations and lacking the ability to identify the classified nature of information, this kind of leakage caused by ignorance is both absurd and common. For example, taking photos without understanding the classified nature of the information and using public networks to transmit sensitive information are high-risk operations in a state of ignorance. ——The mentality of luck. With the idea of "this is just one time", "it's not a big problem", and "it's all for work", they take chances in the face of rules and regulations, discount their principles, and comfort themselves with the words "this won't happen again" and "this hasn't happened". However, every "exception" has planted hidden risks. ——Blind obedience psychology. What am I afraid of when others do the same thing? "I see others violating regulations without stopping them, but instead imitate them. When I discover confidentiality risks, I think" everyone operates like this "and ignore them, even treating them as" unwritten rules ". The blind obedience mentality in classified operations is equally dangerous, as it can turn small problems into big loopholes. ——Showing off mentality. Mastering "internal" and "explosive" information may give people an inexplicable sense of superiority, but treating confidential contact conditions as "personal skills", "revealing" and "sharing" some work content in social situations, in order to show one's "importance" and "right to know", and create a "well-informed" persona, without realizing that the spread of information is like a flood that will cause irreparable losses. ——Indifferent mentality. The saying goes, 'It's nothing to do with oneself.' 'It's better to keep one less thing than to keep it confidential.' They believe that confidentiality is the responsibility of the confidentiality department and leading cadres. They are unwilling to remind others of any signs of violation and do not want to report any confidentiality risks. They think that leaks are just news cases and have nothing to do with themselves. This indifferent attitude ultimately harms the interests of both the collective and oneself. Targeted measures should be taken to jointly build a psychological defense line for confidentiality. We should face the psychological "hidden dangers" in confidentiality management work, attach importance to the potential risks brought by psychological factors, take multiple measures, and build a solid psychological defense line. ——Always sound the alarm bell, don't complain about 'clich é d talk'. Systematically and regularly carry out confidentiality education, clarify the scope of confidentiality, divide confidentiality responsibilities, use "things around us" to warn "people around us", fundamentally eliminate cognitive blind spots, and make "impossible" a consensus. ——Calm down and stop, control the 'momentary difference'. Strictly enforce confidentiality regulations and discipline, draw a rigid bottom line of 'not even once', ask yourself more 'can this be said' and 'is it compliant', and make the 'forbidden zone' a subconscious in confidential operations. ——Break away from luck and weave a dense 'heavenly web'. Establish a full process traceability mechanism, where confidential content is traced back to the sender, forwarded to the sender, and managed by the sender. Serious accountability will be held for violations, ensuring that the flow of each confidential document and information is controllable, traceable, and traceable. The national security agency reminds that only with fear in one's heart can one do and stop. Protecting national secrets is everyone's responsibility. Citizens, especially staff of confidential units, must strictly abide by confidentiality discipline and not use non confidential information systems or devices to process or store any data involving national secrets or sensitive information. If you find any suspicious clues about loss of secrets, you can report to the local national security authority directly through the 12339 national security authority's report acceptance telephone, the online report platform (www.12339. gov.cn), the WeChat official account of the Ministry of National Security's report acceptance channel.
