Discussion Board: Acceptable Use Policies

Do some research to find an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for employees that is published on a company’s website. Review the policies and discuss whether they are complete. For example, the textbook says that a good policy states “explicitly” the punishment/ramifications for violating the rule. If the AUP is unclear, suggest ways it can be improved. Is the AUP over-inclusive, in your opinion/does it go too far/not far enough? Does your employer have an AUP? Do you know what it is? Have you violated it and suffered the consequences, or do you know someone who has? Why is an AUP an important security concern?
