I'm looking for information regarding the legality of an AUP. Is it absolutely necessary to have every employee sign it or is it sufficient to indicate the AUP is a condition of employment? Can anyone offer some insight on the topic? Any lawyers in the crowd?
I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV, but.....Best practice is that you have each employee read and sign the policy statement. Having that signature on file significantly reduces your liability should you fire someone and they sue for wrongful termination. You also need to take visible steps to enforce the policy on an on-going basis. - jcp _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
