Remote access to our corporate network is essential to maintain our Teamās productivity. Still, in many cases, this remote access originates from networks that may already be compromised or are at a significantly lower security posture than our corporate network. While these remote networks are beyond the control of Hypergolic Reactions, LLC policy, we must mitigate these external risks to the best of our ability.
The purpose of this policy is to define rules and requirements for connecting to eCuras’s network from any host. These rules and conditions are designed to minimize the potential exposure to eCuras from damages which may result from unauthorized use of eCuras resources. Damages include the loss of sensitive or company confidential data, intellectual property, damage to public image, damage to critical eCuras internal systems, and fines or other financial liabilities incurred due to those losses.
This policy applies to all eCuras employees, contractors, vendors, and agents with a eCuras-owned or personally-owned computer or workstation used to connect to the eCuras network. This policy applies to remote access connections used to do work on behalf of eCuras, including reading or sending email and viewing intranet web resources. This policy covers any, and all technical implementations of remote access used to connect to eCuras networks.
It is the responsibility of eCuras employees, contractors, vendors, and agents with remote access privileges to eCuras’s corporate network to ensure that their remote access connection is given the same consideration as the user’s on-site connection to eCuras.
Public access to the Internet for recreational use through the eCuras network is strictly limited to eCuras employees, contractors, vendors, and agents (hereafter referred to as āAuthorized Usersā). When accessing the eCuras network from a personal computer, Authorized Users are responsible for preventing access to any eCuras computer resources or data by non-Authorized Users. The performance of illegal activities through the eCuras network by any user (Authorized or otherwise) is prohibited. The Authorized User bears responsibility for and consequences of misuse of the Authorized Userās access. For further information and definitions, see the Acceptable Use Policy.
Authorized Users will not use eCuras networks to access the Internet for outside business interests.
For additional information regarding eCuras’s remote access connection options, including how to obtain a remote access login, free antivirus software, troubleshooting, etc., go to the Remote Access Services website (company URL).
