SLAC networks and telecommunications are U.S. government property and, as such, are subject to "appropriate use" requirements found in federal law and the provisions of the SLAC contract. Access to and use of SLAC networks and telecommunications is conditional upon adherence to the policies established for those individual resources, and to the general Stanford policies on Computer and Network Usage.
The purpose of this policy is to outline the acceptable use of SLAC's networks and telecommunications. This ensures that proper control is setup to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information processing and communication services on systems managed by SLAC. Inappropriate use exposes SLAC to risks including virus attacks, compromise of network systems and services, legal issues, and network reliability.
This policy applies to all employees, contractors, consultants, temporaries and other workers at SLAC, including all personnel affiliated with third parties (“User”). This policy applies to all SLAC network and telecommunications that are managed by SLAC and equipment not owned by SLAC or DOE but connected to the SLAC network.
Any SLAC employee found to have intentionally violated the policy herein stated, shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. A User violating this policy may have his/her device removed from the network and any SLAC network or computer access disabled. Reinstatement will require the review and approval of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) with concurrence from the appropriate Associate Lab Director. Equipment may be confiscated for forensic review with concurrence or direction from Legal and/or Human Resources.
Any exception to this policy must be in writing and approved by the CSO with concurrence from the CIO. The exception shall include detailed explanation and be distributed to the owner of this policy.
The head of networking and telecommunications or his designee will update this policy as necessary to comply with new laws and regulations. This policy will be reviewed by the CIO or his designee at least annually
