With the mass explosion of Smart Phones and Tablets, pervasive wireless connectivity is almost a given at any organization. Insecure wireless configuration can provide an easy open door for malicious threat actors.
The purpose of this policy is to secure and protect the information assets owned by Mitoc Group (the "Company"). The Company provides computer devices, networks, and other electronic information systems to meet missions, goals, and initiatives. The Company grants access to these resources as a privilege and must manage them responsibly to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information assets.
This policy specifies the conditions that wireless infrastructure devices must satisfy to connect to Company's network. Only those wireless infrastructure devices that meet the standards specified in this policy or are granted an exception by the Information Security Department are approved for connectivity to a Company's network.
All employees, contractors, consultants, temporary and other workers at the Company, including all personnel affiliated with third parties that maintain a wireless infrastructure device on behalf of the Company must adhere to this policy. This policy applies to all wireless infrastructure devices that connect to a Company's network or reside on a Company's site that provide wireless connectivity to endpoint devices including, but not limited to, laptops, desktops, cellular phones, and tablets. This includes any form of wireless communication device capable of transmitting packet data
All wireless infrastructure devices that reside at a Company's site and connect to a Company's network, or provide access to information classified as Company's Confidential, or above must:
- Abide by the standards specified in the Wireless Communication Standard.
- Be installed, supported, and maintained by an approved support team.
- Use authentication protocols and infrastructure approved by the Company.
- Use encryption protocols approved by the Company.
- Maintain a hardware address (MAC address) that can be registered and tracked.
- Not interfere with wireless access deployments maintained by other support organizations.
All lab wireless infrastructure devices that provide access to Company's Confidential or above, must adhere to section 4.1 above. Lab and isolated wireless devices that do not provide general network connectivity to Company's network must:
- Be isolated from the corporate network (that is it must not provide any corporate connectivity) and comply with the Lab Security Policy.
- Not interfere with wireless access deployments maintained by other support organizations.
4.3.1 Wireless infrastructure devices that provide direct access to Company's network, must conform to the Home Wireless Device Requirements as detailed in the Wireless Communication Standard.
4.3.2 Wireless infrastructure devices that fail to conform to the Home Wireless Device Requirements must be installed in a manner that prohibits direct access to Company's network. Access to Company's network through this device must use standard remote access authentication.
The Information Security Team will verify compliance to this policy through various methods, including but not limited to, periodic walk-thrus, video monitoring, business tool reports, internal and external audits, and feedback to the policy owner.
Any exception to the policy must be approved by the Information Security Team (security@mitocgroup.com) in advance.
An employee found to have violated this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
