Re: Screensaver Timeouts

[Sherry Callahan <scallahan () KUMC EDU>]

Our organization also has implemented a 15-minute timeout for
screensavers, based on NIST recommendations.  Good luck with
implementing this as a new policy, as this is one of those settings that
usually causes very loud screams from the user community.

Fellow Security Professionals,

Our campus is looking at implementing a policy for screensaver
timeouts
and we are wondering if anyone else currently has this type of policy
in
place.
If you do have a policy on screensaver timeouts, how many minutes do
you
require before the screensaver is activated?
