A network administrator notices that an employee is using a significant amount of internet bandwidth by streaming high-definition videos for personal entertainment during work hours. This activity is slowing down the network for other users who are performing business-critical tasks. Which of the following policies should the administrator consult to determine if this is a violation and what the appropriate response should be?
The correct answer is the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). An AUP is a document that outlines what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable use of an organization's computing resources, including the network and internet access. It would specify rules regarding personal use of company bandwidth. The Incident Response Policy is for handling security incidents like breaches or malware infections. The Change Management Policy governs the process for making changes to IT systems. The Disaster Recovery Policy outlines procedures for restoring operations after a major disruption.
