Don't Rely on Luck to Keep Your Computer System Safe
Whether you employ one part-timer or 10,000 full-time professionals, each time an employee accesses your organization's e-mail and Internet system, you are at risk. You cannot be present in every office on every floor every hour of the day. And you should not rely on luck (or employees' common sense) to ensure your e-mail and Internet systems are used properly.
Have you told your employees what they are and are not allowed to transmit via e-mail and the Internet? Have you given your employees rules to write by, including CyberLanguage and Netiquette guidelines? Have you notified staff that management has the right (and the intention) to read everything that's transmitted via the e-mail and Internet system?
