Scenario

Sunshine Machine Works has expanded its infrastructure. When they started there were just three computers, and ten employees. Now there are over 100 employees and their network will have fifty computer terminals, with two servers. During the expansion there has been a lot of discussion about the need for a written computer use policy.

Role

You are the IT Services manager for Sunshine Machine Works. This company has seen rapid growth. Management is looking to you to provide a critical input for an Information Systems Use Security Policy. Although they have a format they can use for the policy, they are looking to you to provide some guidance on areas they will need to address when creating this policy.

Given the scenario, your role and the information provided by the key players involved, it is time for you to make a decision.<br><br>If you are finished reviewing this scenario, close this window and return to this Week's You Decide tab, in eCollege, to complete the activity for this scenario.<br><br>You can return and review this scenario again at any time.

Write a paper of 500-1,000 words (double-spaced) about your experience in the Week 1 You Decide exercise. Briefly explain some of the issues that a company may face as it experiences growth and begins to address the proper use of its information systems.

See Appendix C of the textbook for examples of policies which address issues companies may face.

Since you are responsible for IT Services and want to keep the systems and network functioning effectively, you will want to identify activities which would be permitted and which activities would be prohibited. Management will take your policy suggestions, finalize the policy and it will be provided to the employees.

Follow the instructions provided in the You Decide Exercise: Information Systems Use Security Policy.

1.4.3 Unacceptable Use
The following activities are, in general, prohibited. Employees may be
exempted from these restrictions during the course of their legitimate job
responsibilities (e.g., systems administration staff may have a need to
disable the network access of a host if that host is disrupting production
services). Under no circumstances is an employee of &lt;Company Name
Here&gt; authorized to engage in any activity that is illegal under local, state,
federal or international law while utilizing &lt;Company Name Here&gt; -owned
resources.
The lists below are by no means exhaustive, but attempt to provide a
framework for activities, which fall into the category of unacceptable use. 1.4.3.1 System and Network Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited, with no exceptions: ■ Violations of the rights of any person or company protected by
copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property, or similar
laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, the installation or
distribution of “pirated” or other software products that are not
appropriately licensed for use by &lt;Company Name Here&gt;. ■ Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material including, but not
limited to, digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines,
books or other copyrighted sources, copyrighted music, and the
installation of any copyrighted software for which &lt;Company Name
Here&gt; or the end user does not have an active license is strictly
prohibited. ■ Exporting software, technical information, encryption software or
technology, in violation of international or regional export control laws, is
illegal. The appropriate management should be consulted prior to export
of any material that is in question. ■ Introduction of malicious programs into the network or server (e.g.,
viruses, worms, Trojan horses, e-mail bombs, etc.). ■ Revealing your account password to others or allowing use of
your account by others. This includes family and other household
members when work is being done at home. ■ Using a &lt;Company Name Here&gt; computing asset to actively engage
in procuring or transmitting material that is in violation of sexual
harassment or hostile workplace laws in the user’s local jurisdiction. ■ Making fraudulent offers of products, items, or services originating
from any &lt;Company Name Here&gt; account. ■ Making statements about warranty, expressly or implied, unless it is
a part of normal job duties. ■ Effecting security breaches or disruptions of network
communication. Security breaches include, but are not limited to,
accessing data of which the employee is not an intended recipient or
logging into a server or account that the employee is not expressly
authorized to access, unless these activities are within the scope of
regular duties. For purposes of this section, “disruption” includes, but is
not limited to, network sniffing, pinged floods, packet spoofing, Denial of
Service, and forged routing information for malicious purposes. ■ Port scanning or security scanning is expressly prohibited unless
prior notification to &lt;Company Name Here&gt; is made. ■ Executing any form of network monitoring which will intercept data
not intended for the employee’s host, unless this activity is a part of the
employee’s normal job/duty. ■ Circumventing user authentication or security of any host, network
or account. ■ Interfering with or denying service to any user other than the
employee’s host (for example, Denial of Service attack). ■ Using any program/script/command, or sending messages of any
kind, with the intent to interfere with, or disable, a user’s terminal
session, via any means, locally or via the Internet/Intranet/Extranet. ■ Providing information about, or lists of, &lt;Company Name Here&gt;
employees to parties outside &lt;Company Name Here&gt;. 1.4.3.2 E-mail and Communications Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited, with no exceptions: ■ Sending unsolicited e-mail messages, including the sending of “junk
mail” or other advertising material to individuals who did not specifically
request such material (e-mail spam). ■ Any form of harassment via e-mail, telephone or paging, whether
through language, frequency, or size of messages. ■ Unauthorized use, or forging, of e-mail header information. ■ Solicitation of e-mail for any other e-mail address, other than that of
the poster’s account, with the intent to harass or to collect replies. ■ Creating or forwarding “chain letters,” “Ponzi” or other “pyramid”
schemes of any type. ■ Use of unsolicited e-mail originating from within &lt;Company Name
Here&gt; networks of other Internet/Intranet/Extranet service providers on
behalf of, or to advertise, any service hosted by &lt;Company Name Here&gt;
or connected via &lt;Company Name Here&gt; network. ■ Posting the same or similar non-business-related messages to large
numbers of Usenet newsgroups (newsgroup spam).
