Security Policy
Security Policy
(OP)
Hi,
We are a newly stablished Automoitve design center and we are reconsidering our Security policy. At the time none ofthe engineers do have the permission to copy any files to a CD or Floppy disk and they can not enen attach any files to their emails.
I would like to know how is this handeled in your company?
Ragards,

RE: Security Policy
You are strangling information flow and productivity.
Treat your engineers like common criminals and you will foster criminal behavior.

RE: Security Policy
I agree, there is an issue here, but stupid restrictions are not the way to go.
Mind you, if Burglar Bill stole my home PC he'd have some pretty interesting files (in a nerdy kind of way)- but far less damaging and comprehensible than the spreadsheets on the tens of manager's laptops nicked or lost every year.

RE: Security Policy
Maybe that then implies that the engineers are the only ones to really add value.
Maybe that implies that the engineers should be on the highest salary, as they are entrusted with the most valuable task and information.
Maybe it simply means that a manager does not realise that an engineer cannot do his work effectively if he cannot communicate as required and appropriate.

RE: Security Policy
An arguement that probably will not be settled to
everyonesanyones satisfaction. The gravesites were in other areas, eg. the Valley of Kings.To the original question---If no other reason makes sense to the bean counters, then "industrial espionage" is the final word. 'Sorta like "safety" ends any conversation on the jobsite about just about any production issue.
