Policy 4.1 Internet and Network Monitoring

4.1.1 1836 Technologies’s Information Technology Services (ITS) Group has incorporated intrusion detection capabilities into its Network so as to provide information relating to unauthorized or irregular behavior on any 1836 Technologies computer, network, or telecommunication system, and analyzing them for signs of possible incidents, which are violations or imminent threats or violation of computer security policies, acceptable use policies, or standard security practices. This is done to protect 1836 Technologies and customer resources and data maintained or stored on 1836 Technologies’s network.

4.1.2 To protect the integrity of 1836 Technologies’s Network and the data maintained on its Network, the (ITS) Group will monitor Internet usage, network traffic on the 1836 Technologies Network a well as all 1836 Technologies computers and devices, whether or not connected to the 1836 Technologies Network

4.1.3 Because information recorded by the automated monitoring systems can be used to identify an individual user and show, for example, a website or document that a user has been viewing and the time spent browsing, personnel must not assume privacy in their use of the 1836 Technologies’s systems, even when accessing the systems in their personal time i.e. out of paid working hours.

4.1.4. In the event that ITS finds inappropriate activity or infestation of a company asset, this information may then be shared with the appropriate 1836 Technologies management, the Incident Response Team, and the Legal Department. 1836 Technologies reserves the right to carry out detailed inspection, make a copy of any 1836 Technologies asset or devices containing 1836 Technologies data, where warranted, and to re-image any 1836 Technologies asset as needed.
