Hot Take:

Former employees turning into ghost users haunting your networks? That's spooky cybersecurity for you! Seems like forgetting to revoke access is the digital equivalent of leaving your front door key with the neighbor and moving to another country. Oops! Time to dust off that "ex-employee checklist" and maybe add "prevent digital zombie apocalypse" to the to-do list.
