Administrative Security Management for All Networked Computers |
Configurations and set-up parameters on all computers attached to the State of Alaska network must comply with State of Alaska security management policies and standards. |
The intention of this policy is to clearly state that all LAN administrators, mainframe access control package administrators, and the like must consistently abide by internal security management policies and standards. Often these administrators are tempted to do things their own way, perhaps inadvertently opening an unauthorized access pathway to connected machines. This policy may at first seem unnecessary; some people may think that everyone else knows that the weakest link in a chain will be the first to break. But there is merit to stating this idea in writing, perhaps giving management something else to use when attempting to get administrators to abide by internal policies and standards. |
