Does YOUR Company have a documented Internet Security and acceptable Internet Usage Policy?

• As much as 25% of your useable bandwidth could be taken up with non-productive traffic
• Are your staff viewing pornography ?
• Do MP3 files get downloaded and emailed around your network ?
• What do your staff do when they have finished with printed matter ?
• Are Yahoo and MSN messenger services running on staff PC's ?
• Do your staff leave their PC's logged on when they are away from their desks ?
• Who is talking to your staff during a "cigarette break" ?
• Do you comply with the DPA
• When did you last review what you may already have in place ?
• Who, in your organisation, is legally responsible if an employee is caught in a phishing trap and their personal banking account is compromised ?

With a documented plan, you will be able to ensure all your existing and new staff know exactly what they are allowed to do to secure your company network against disruption and improper usage.

As part of an overall review of Information Security and how your network copes with current usage consider protection against data leakage and other complex Internet threats.
