麻豆精品

Policy

Northern Illinois University (麻豆精品) grants its employees the privilege of purchasing and using smartphones, tablets, laptops or other mobile devices of their choosing at work for their convenience. 麻豆精品 reserves the right to revoke this privilege if users do not abide by the policies and procedures outlined below.

This policy is intended to protect the security and integrity of 麻豆精品’s private or restricted data and technology infrastructure. View 麻豆精品’s for more information on what constitutes private or restricted data. Limited exceptions to the policy may be granted due to variations in devices and platforms.

Acceptable Use

No matter the device in use, all 麻豆精品 students, faculty and staff must abide by 麻豆精品’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Security

• All mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, or USB-connected drives and devices used to view, process, or store 麻豆精品 private or restricted data must be encrypted. Most modern smartphones are encrypted by default, but many laptops are not. The Division of Information Technology (DoIT) recommends Microsoft Bitlocker for Windows laptops and Apple’s FileVault for Mac laptops.
• All mobile devices used to view or process 麻豆精品 private or restricted data must have the ability to be remotely wiped in case of loss, theft, or 麻豆精品 detects a data breach and exfiltration of 麻豆精品 private or restricted data.
• In order to prevent unauthorized access, devices must be password protected using the features of the device and a strong password is required to access the company network.
• The device should lock itself with a password or PIN if it’s idle for no more than fifteen minutes.
• All due diligence must be used to keep personal use from work use on the same device or across devices. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to create and use a completely separate user account for work purposes only. If a separate account cannot be created for work use, then maintain separate web browsers for work and personal use. Do not sync a personal web browser account with a work account or device.

Reimbursement for Personal Devices

At management discretion, 麻豆精品 offers cellphone stipends for employees who are required to use personal smartphones for work purposes.

• 麻豆精品 reserves the right to block individual devices from accessing the 麻豆精品 wired or wireless networks.
• Lost or stolen devices used to view or process 麻豆精品 private or restricted data must be reported to 麻豆精品 within 24 hours by  or calling the IT Service Desk at 815-753-8100. Employees are responsible for notifying their mobile carrier immediately upon loss of a device.
