Screen Saver Frenzy at the office

Ok, after being in data processing for over 18 years, I am fully aware and very much appreciate the NEED for security. With that said, I find one thing a little bit extreme when it comes to this topic. It’s when it’s decided that a PC’s screen saver is set to less than a time of 20 to 30 minutes until it goes active. It only proves one point here. Those behind this kind of decision do not have to deal with it on a daily basis. This especially applies to PC’s in a computer room where Computer Operators have a need to access the PC throughout the shift. Let’s be real here, 30 minutes is very much sufficient unless, the area of concern is frequented by “outsiders” more often than not. That would be a consideration for this type of action. But, computer rooms (data centers) don’t normally have this kind of traffic.
