An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a set of rules and guidelines that define how an organization's network, computer systems, and digital information can be used. It aims to ensure that users understand and adhere to proper conduct to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the system.
An AUP helps prevent misuse that might lead to security breaches, legal issues, or other problems. By clearly defining what is considered acceptable behavior and what is not, it protects both the organization's interests and the rights of the users. Enforcement of the AUP can also provide legal protections for the organization in case of any disputes or infractions. An AUP is vital in promoting responsible use of technology, mitigating risks, and maintaining a safe and productive environment.
