Question

All of the following except one are issues that should be covered in an AUP. Which one is the exception?

A) A coworker asks to log into the network using your user name and password because his or her account is "unavailable."
B) You receive a caricature drawing of your boss via e-mail that you think is hilarious and are considering forwarding it to your office mates.
C) The person sitting next to you spends all of his or her time at work downloading financial quotes and trading stocks online.
D) Your computer monitor will not switch on.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Your computer monitor will not switch on.

Explanation:

A written agreement or a document stipulating constraints and practices that a community computer network or an individual user must agree and adhere to is called an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Employees and students are required to sign an AUP when you sign up with an ISP. A good AUP will cover most provisions for network etiquette and indicate clearly the privacy levels of a member. The examples given in the multiple choices above are use cases for AUP apart from option D. If a user is not certain on the actions that should be taken in use cases like these, an AUP should be of great help.
