Provides guidelines for developing policy governing the use of computers, e-mail and the internet. Focuses on reducing legal liability, protecting confidential, proprietary information, and guarding against the waste of information technology resources. Filled with many examples of policies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tool for developing solid, effective email policies, November 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: E-Policy: How to Develop Computer, E-mail, and Internet Guidelines to Protect Your Company and Its Assets (Paperback)

I found this book very intuitive and easy to read. My company helps organizations put software controls in place to reduce their exposure to Internet and Email related threats. In many cases, my customers are asking for direction on how to set up solid, effective policies for email and internet usage. This book addresses that need perfectly. It splits down the issue into the key component parts, discusses the potantial threats using real life examples and recommends protective wording to put in your policy. As a policy maker, you can judge which are the most important threats to your business and create a policy related to your requirements. Importantly, the book provides insight as to how to monitor and manage the policy you have created on an on-going basis. Just creating it and distributing it is not enough anymore.

By A Customer

This review is from: E-Policy: How to Develop Computer, E-mail, and Internet Guidelines to Protect Your Company and Its Assets (Paperback)

This is a very general, high level view. Very thin book. Not a lot of meat.
