Overview:
Every business should have a written (and thoughtfully prepared) network security plan in place. A thorough policy will cover topics such as:

• Acceptable use policy, to specify what types of network activities are allowed and which ones are prohibited
• E-mail and communications activities, to help minimize problems from e-mails and attachments
• Antivirus policy, to help protect the network against threats like viruses, worms, and Trojan horses
• Identity policy, to help safeguard the network from unauthorized users
• Password policy, to help employees select strong passwords and protect them
• Encryption policy, to provide guidance on using encryption technology to protect network data
• Remote access policy, to help employees safely access the network when working outside the office
