Protection |
| Pr – 805.1 |
Password protection applies to all electronic
devices and systems connected to the College network including
computers, network switches and routers, personal digital assistant
devices, laptop computers, and password authenticated software. |
| Pr – 805.2 |
Passwords are used on the College’s devices
and systems to facilitate authentication. The security of information
is highly dependent upon the confidentiality and characteristics
of passwords. Compromised passwords can result in loss of data,
denial of service for other users, or attacks directed at other
Internet users from a compromised machine. Compromised passwords
can also result in the inappropriate disclosure of private
data. |
| Pr – 805.3 |
Password Guidelines
A password must be used for all devices and software requiring
authentication. Passwords must be periodically changed as required
by each system. |
