Protecting Personal & Company Devices
In the past, we've found that when people use their work computers appropriately, we see fewer breaches. And as such, we have outlined a series of measures to ensure that your devices are cared for.
We expect everyone to:
- Keep personal information and client data off your work devices
- Password-protect all your devices (work and personal)
- Update your internet browsers and devices monthly - or whenever an update is recommended
- Avoid downloading unauthorized software to your work computer
- Stay away from suspicious or unsecured websites
- Use private networks when logging onto your work computer (for example, opt for your personal hotspot over a coffee shop's wifi)
- Don't leave your devices unlocked or unattended - especially when in a public place
- Lock your screen or turn off your device when you step away from your workspace
- If the equipment is stolen or broken, report it right away to [HR or IT] immediately
- Avoid downloading suspicious or illegal software to your work computer
Please note that your work devices are only intended for your use, and lending it out or giving someone else access is never allowed.
If you are a new hire, [IT] will give you detailed instructions for properly setting up your device when you get that device.
Have questions about your device? Please contact [IT].
