Think about how you would feel if there were no rules regarding how your credit card information was stored on merchants’ Web sites. Would you purchase items from the Web? Would the Internet be as big as it is today if we had no laws or information security policies regarding data that makes up an e-commerce transaction?
Now 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 computers. Could this cause a problem for the organization?
The answer to the questions posed above is obvious. Security policies are essential in today’s world.
For this assignment, research each of the following 4 types of policies:
Internet use policy
External device use policy
