A network security policy (NSP) is a generic document that outlines rules for computer network access, determines how policies are enforced and lays out some of the basic architecture of the company security/ network security environment.[1] The document itself is usually several pages long and written by a committee. A security policy goes far beyond the simple idea of "keep the bad guys out". It's a very complex document, meant to govern data access, web-browsing habits, use of passwords and encryption, email attachments and more. It specifies these rules for individuals or groups of individuals throughout the company.[2]
Security policy should keep the malicious users out and also exert control over potential risky users within your organization. The first step in creating a policy is to understand what information and services are available (and to which users), what the potential is for damage and whether any protection is already in place to prevent misuse.
In addition, the security policy should dictate a hierarchy of access permissions; that is, grant users access only to what is necessary for the completion of their work.
While writing the security document can be a major undertaking, a good start can be achieved by using a template. National Institute of Standards and Technology provides a security-policy guideline.
The policies could be expressed as a set of instructions that could be understood by special purpose. I want to network right now call me after you want to call me call me after eight minutes send send the data send data I will send the date will be 0708 611 0 call me after you want to call me call me after eight minutes send send the data send data I will send the date will be 0708 611. 089 send faster than that by now OK I am online call me all the time I am your manager so you have to be a very good walk up come add order 1755 what is 1755 3232 with the door it is an images you are a natural someone please I want to see you at WLAN Wi-Fi I will give you some instruction you want to copy them by somewhere and then save them at My Pl., Food Network for 50 shillings in WL a.m. network dance I want to see all the data on put all the data off by now
