The acceptable use policy (AUP) can be a challenge for some employees to adhere to. In many organizations, it is difficult to maintain a single version of an AUP because owners and senior management often want to have more control over their computing systems and feel they can justify it by their positions.

Answer the following questions related to the above scenario:

• Do you think that senior management has more to lose than other employees, such as an accounting clerk, if an attack occurs on the computer systems used by senior management?
• Do you support the statement that senior management should have a different AUP compared to other employees?
• Marvin, a co owner of an organization, does not follow the AUP although Stella, the other co-owner, does follow it. The security manager explains to Marvin that the AUP is in place to protect the entire organization. Marvin still refuses, saying he must have more flexibility to complete his job duties. Is Marvin’s attitude ethical behavior or not?
