We have the same language in our AUP, etc. Our president went a step further and issued a memo saying the Deans were responsible and that the dean of an area affected by a security beach would have to pay for the cleanup, not central IT. Maybe, InfoSec is willing to but Management is . . . -Eric Eric Case, CISSP eric (at) ericcase (dot) com http://www.linkedin.com/in/ericcase

In making acceptable use of resources you must: -use only legal versions of copyrighted software in compliance with vendor license requirements. ---------------------------------- Easy for us to enforce. I think you mean "would we be WILLING to enforce this?". If the action causes disruption of service, data access, etc., it seems everyone would be willing to enforce it. That's a mgt issue not a security issue. -Randy
