What is an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)?

Introduction

The human element causes a significant risk to an organization’s sensitive information being exposed to cybersecurity attacks. While data breaches can occur from an accidental click on a phishing email or a sophisticated network exploitation, a potential attack vector that is often overlooked is employee misuse of company-owned network resources. One important way that your organization can reduce the risk of improper technology use and hold employees accountable is to document and require all employees to sign an Acceptable Use Policy. An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) documents an organization’s defined permitted and non-permitted use of its network equipment and resources. Below, we will discuss why having an AUP is important and what you should include within your policy.
