Network Usage policy

2000-09-11 Thread Albert Ip

Hello everyone,

I need to define a network usage policy at work and need your input.

We had someone use a port scanner here a few weeks ago and the same person
just did some large FTP download and upload during the weekend. (he is
either being fire or we are locking down his user profile.)
My boss want me to have a policy spell out to all the staff to what is
acceptable.  I am just starting off and would welcome any ideas.  I will
post what I put together once it is done.

Thanks
Albert

What you need is an Acceptable Use Policy Statement. Here is a link with 
many examples...

You might also consider developing an information security policy that 
specifically states the things that are absolutely forbidden (port scanning, 
mp3's or other huge bandwidth hogs, adult material, ethnic slander, etc. 
Some of the examples at the above link have this information contained 
within the Acceptable use statement, but others have seperated them. One 
reason to do so is that the Acceptable Use policy statement usually is owned 
(and enforced) by Human Resources, while the Information Security policy is 
owned by IS. The Acceptable Use policy points to the IS policy, allowing HR 
to enforce what you put in your policy statement, but you retain full 
control over the contents of the IS policy and can amend it as you see fit.

I hope this helps (I just finished one for a client of mine).
