Internet and Email Usage Policy

This policy from TechRepublic Premium sets forth guidelines for the use of the internet, as well as internet-powered communication services, including email, proprietary group messaging services (e.g., Slack) and social networking services in business contexts. It also covers Internet of Things use and bring-your-own-device practices.

From the policy:

SAFE BROWSING

• Browsers will proactively warn users before accessing websites with expired security certificates or that are known to host malware.

• Do not bypass restrictions on websites known to host malware.

• Inform IT if a previously used website displays errors related to expired or revoked certificates or malware.

• Do not install plug-ins or extensions without prior authorization from IT.
