Network Access and Authentication Policy
The Network Access and Authentication Policy covers the corporate standards for accessing the network, including such topics as account setup and use, authentication methods, minimum configurations, off-hours access, and more.
User authentication is a critical component of a company's security policy, as users are often one of the weaker links in the network security. This policy ensures consistent application of authentication and access standards across the company's network.
