operation security

Scenario 

Imagine that you work for an organization that has no Internet use policy; employees use the Internet in whatever way they want using company-owned personal computers (PCs). Could this cause a problem for the organization?

The answer to this question is obvious. Security policies are essential in today’s world. However, the flip side to this is that at times these policies also cause problems.

Discuss the following IT security policies and the level of protection each policy provides in the context of your assigned scenario:

• Internet use policy
• External device use policy
• Employee identity (ID) policy
• Computer use policy 

How would each policy help the situation described in your assigned scenario? How might each policy hinder the situation described in your assigned scenario?

Respond to your peers, at least 2, and comment on the rationale provided by them for their opinions. Briefly describe each policy in the form of a bulleted list. Include your rationale for whether each policy helps or hinders the situation in your assigned scenario.
