...establish guidelines and norms for the organization with respect to the use of email, and any other electronic communication medium, for internal and external communications. Make recommendations on what to do and what not to do. Explain the reasoning for your recommendations. (10 marks) WILSON BROTHERS LIMITED Guidelines for Best Practices in Electronic Communications This document will serve as a guideline on the use of electronic communications and addresses major issues such as; email and cell phone usage, best practices, how we define appropriate use of email and cell phones in the workplace, the effective use of email as a business tool for internal and external communication and how it is to be managed. This policy applies to all Wilson Brothers Limited Employees. Important Factors to Note: Email is not guaranteed to be private. Email is not an appropriate substitute for face-to-face in specific situations. Email is not always sent and received instantly; messages can arrive several hours or days after they are sent. As a result, email is not an appropriate method for exchanging time-sensitive information. Emails are considered to be company records. Therefore, they should be retained in the same way as Wilson Bros does customer/sales records or other forms of communication, such as letters, faxes Risks Associated to using Email include: The privacy and security of email communication cannot be guaranteed. It is impossible to verify the true...

...Employee Privacy Report • Write a 1,050- to 1,200-word report addressing e-mail, Internet use, and privacy policies. Answer the following questions in your report: o What are the e-mail use, Internet use, and privacy policies at your job? The email policy at my job at the Florida Foundation for Families (hereinafter “FFF”) are that work email is strictly to be used for work purposes and not for personal use. The policy is covered in our Employee Handbook, and states that the rationale for the policy is that we should only be working during work time, and that if we were to use work email for private use, it could expose the company to internet threats that would otherwise be easily avoidable. For instance, if we were to use email for private use and were to open an attachment that contained a virus, we could potentially jeopardize the entire system’s network. During our break periods and lunch we are allowed to use private email accounts, but we are likewise instructed not to open any attachments on our work computers in order to avoid the same threat that would be posed by using our private email accounts for such purposes. Like our email policy, the internet is supposed to only be used for work purposes as well, however, since work purposes aren’t strictly defined there is definitely more leeway in how we can use the internet, since we could be looking at an article in an online magazine or newspaper that’s work related. We are still forbidden from using any...

...about Google or Facebook’s privacy policies are front-page news. However, although it perhaps receives less attention, electronic workplace privacy is just as big an issue. Workers communicate at work using various devices. Some workers rely on a computer to send emails. Other workers may favor using a land phone or a cell phone for communication with important clients. In some cases, workers use texting on cell phones to communicate with fellow employees. The one similarity between all these workers is that they are all probably communicating on a device or on a network that belongs to the company that they work for. Workers are also likely to use work equipment, a computer or a company cell phone, to make personal calls. This makes sense, given the long hours that people often spend at work and the ease of using work machines to communicate. A recent article in The Economist, “Slaves to the Smartphone”, states “Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between ‘on-time’ and ‘off-time’—and indeed between real work and make-work.” Most electronic communication at work (whether via email, text, or otherwise) cannot be claimed as private. Employers have the right to monitor employees’ use of the Internet, the content of their emails, as well as other electronic communication.Of course, there are certain exceptions based on the state in which the employee resides and a number of other circumstances. For example, conversations held on personal phones are private in...

...Assignment: Create an Internet and Email Acceptable Use Policy Course Foundations of Computer security Instructor: Amanda Lawrence Cooley Investments is an organization based upon client trust and confidentially. Without the trust placed in the organization by the clients, the organization will cease to exist. As such, every employee should consider their daily actions and the correlation of those actions to the trust placed in the company by the clients. Just as “Employee Smith” would safeguard his home computer against a malware attack, so should he protect the company’s computer from a malware attack. The following will outline the acceptable use of Cooley’s assets regarding Internet and email access and the actions that are prohibited. Cooley Investment’s computers, computer files, e-mail system, Internet access and any software furnished to employees are company property and subject to monitoring and unannounced review. They are to be used for company business only, and not for excessive personal use to communicate with friends or family or to access the Internet for personal purposes. While use of the computer, e-mail and Internet is intended for job-related activities, incidental and occasional brief personal use is permitted within reasonable limits so long as it does not interfere with the employee's work. The company specifically prohibits the use of computers (including Internet access) and the e-mail system in ways that are disruptive, offensive to...

...Internet’s role in our lives has grown to an everyday necessity. We rely on the Internet to communicate within the scope of our employment and social lives, to conduct our banking and bill paying, we even use it to track our personal property. There is hardly one area of our lives that we can not conduct over the Internet. While the Internet is a convenience that has made our lives easier, it has also opened the door in our lives to a vulnerability that is rapidly being exploited by cyber criminals. Cyber crimes are growing at an exponential rate in the United States and we, the consumers/end users are unaware of the liabilities a simple click on the wrong button can cause. This paper will address the current cybersecurity policy issues for the protection of the Internet infrastructure and recommend new policies that will address the liability for malicious traffic traversing the Internet from the End Users. INTRODUCTION From the year 2000 to 2010, the users’ on the Internet has escalated to approximately five times its original users. The Internet provides a variety of services in which its users transmits large amounts of proprietary and personal data.
