Remote Access Policy1. Overview
Remote access to our corporate network is essential to maintain our Team’s productivity, but 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 the best of our ability.2. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to define rules and requirements for connecting to <Company Name>'s network from any host. These rules and requirements are designed to minimize the potential exposure to <Company Name> from damages which may result from unauthorized use of <Company Name> resources. Damages include the loss of sensitive or company confidential data, intellectual property, damage to public image, damage to critical <Company Name> internal systems, and fines or other financial liabilities incurred as a result of those losses.
3. Scope
This policy applies to all <Company Name> employees, contractors, vendors and agents with a <Company Name>-owned or personally-owned computer or workstation used to connect to the <Company Name> network. This policy applies to remote access connections used to do work on behalf of <Company Name>, 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 <Company Name> networks.
4. Policy
It is the responsibility of <Company Name> employees, contractors, vendors and agents with remote access privileges to <Company Name>'s corporate network to ensure that their remote access connection is given the same consideration as the user's on-site connection to <Company Name>.
General access to the Internet for recreational use through the <Company Name> network is strictly limited to <Company Name> employees, contractors, vendors and agents (hereafter referred to as “Authorized Users”). When accessing the <Company Name> network from a personal computer, Authorized Users are responsible for preventing access to any <Company Name> computer resources or data by non-Authorized Users. Performance of illegal activities through the <Company Name> network by any user (Authorized or otherwise) is prohibited. The Authorized User bears responsibility for and consequences of misuse of the Authorized User’s access. For further information and definitions, see the Acceptable Use Policy.
Authorized Users will not use <Company Name> networks to access the Internet for outside business interests.

Acceptable Encryption Policy
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance that limits the use of encryption to those algorithms that have received substantial public review and have been proven to work effectively. Additionally, this policy provides direction to ensure that Federal regulations are followed, and legal authority is granted for the dissemination and use of encryption technologies outside of the United States.
2.0 Scope
This policy applies to all <Company Name> employees and affiliates.
3.0 Policy
Proven, standard algorithms such as DES, Blowfish, RSA, RC5 and IDEA should be used as the basis for encryption technologies. These algorithms represent the actual cipher used for an approved application. For example, Network Associate's Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) uses a combination of IDEA and RSA or Diffie-Hellman, while Secure Socket Layer (SSL) uses RSA encryption. Symmetric cryptosystem key lengths must be at least 56 bits. Asymmetric crypto-system keys must be of a length that yields equivalent strength. <Company Name>’s key length requirements will be reviewed annually and upgraded as technology allows.
The use of proprietary encryption algorithms is not allowed for any purpose, unless reviewed by qualified experts outside of the vendor in question and approved by InfoSec. Be aware that the export of encryption technologies is restricted by the U.S. Government. Residents of countries other than the United States should make themselves aware of the encryption technology laws of the country in which they reside.
4.0 Enforcement
Any employee found to have violated this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
5.0 Definitions
Term
Definition
Proprietary Encryption
An algorithm that has not been made public and/or has not withstood public scrutiny. The developer of the algorithm could be a vendor, an individual, or the government.
Symmetric Cryptosystem
A method of encryption in which the same key is used for both encryption and decryption of the data.
Asymmetric Cryptosystem
A method of encryption in which two different keys are used: one for encrypting and one for decrypting the data (e.g., public-key encryption).

4. OBJECTIVES OF CORPORATE INTERNET USE POLICIES
While preserving the confidentiality of internal operations, proprietary information and confidential client data, and avoiding legal liability from inadvertent, unauthorized or harmful acts of employees are primary goals for corporate email and internet use policies, they are not the only goals.
Corporations must also factor in other objectives not always consistent with limiting legal liability.
4.1 Reducing Lost Productivity
The concern among many businessmen from about 2000 was that allowing internet access in the workplace could result in a great increase in employee non-work activities. Available content on the internet has expanded far beyond TV fare since 2000 to include Facebook, streaming video and music sites, fantasy sports teams, on-line shopping, eBay, financial web sites and bank account access, news feeds, blogs and Twitter. Clearly, excessive employee non-work internet use during working hours can impose significant costs on a company; one source cites productivity loss as the top reason for instituting an “acceptable use policy” (AUP) for company email and internet (Smith, 2013).
Also, employee perceptions that “everyone” is engaging in non-work-related email and internet use can rapidly spread. However, employees increasingly reject the idea of strictly defined “work” and “non-work” hours, believing they can be more productive engaging in company business at any time and from any place–on devices that they choose.
4.2 Protecting Tangible and Intangible Assets
Increasingly sophisticated hackers are constantly developing tools to penetrate corporate networks–almost always to the potential detriment of the company and its clients. They may be working for criminal enterprises, or for competitors or foreign governments, but their goal is the same–to gather as much valuable information for as long as possible. Citibank and Sony are only two of the largest and best-known victims of such attacks. Email remains the most popular way to introduce malware into corporate networks (Cisco, 2013).
4.3 Controlling Internet Costs
Many non-business internet uses (e.g., streaming video, movies and music downloads, and internet music and television feeds) are “bandwidth hogs”. While these applications may not directly cost the corporation, their cumulative use can easily consume a substantial portion of a corporation’s available bandwidth, which can require major expenses to expand the corporation’s network capabilities.
4.4 Attracting Talented Employees
If human capital is a company’s most valuable asset, avoiding unnecessary barriers to a ...

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

4. 1. POLICY OVERVIEW
Information Technology and Computing Services (ITC) provides access to the
vast information resources of the Internet to help you do your job faster and
smarter, and be a well-informed business citizen. The facilities to provide that
access represent a considerable commitment of company resources for
telecommunications, networking, software, storage, etc. This Internet usage policy
is designed to help you understand our expectations for the use of those resources
in the particular conditions of the Internet, and to help you use those resources
wisely.
While we’ve set forth explicit requirements for Internet usage below, we’d like to
start by describing our Internet usage philosophy. First and foremost, the Internet
for GOVNET is a business tool, provided to you at significant cost. That means
we expect you to use your Internet access [primarily] for business-related
purposes, i.e., to communicate with customers and suppliers, to research relevant
topics and obtain useful business information [except as outlined below]. We insist
that you conduct yourself honestly and appropriately on the Internet, and respect
the copyrights, software licensing rules, property rights, privacy and prerogatives
of others, just as you would in any other business dealings. To be absolutely clear
on this point, all existing company policies apply to your conduct on the Internet,
especially (but not exclusively) those that deal with intellectual property
protection, privacy, misuse of company resources, sexual harassment, information
and data security, and confidentiality.
Unnecessary or unauthorized Internet usage causes network and server congestion.
It slows other users, takes away from work time, consumes supplies, and ties up
printers and other shared resources. Unlawful Internet usage may also garner
negative publicity for the Fiji Government and expose the firm to significant legal
liabilities.
The chats, newsgroups and email of the Internet give each individual Internet user
an immense and unprecedented reach to propagate company messages and tell our
business story. Because of that power we must take special care to maintain the
clarity, consistency and integrity of the Fiji Government’s corporate image and
posture. Anything any one employee writes in the course of acting for the Fiji
Government on the Internet can be taken as representing the Fiji Government ’s
corporate posture. That is why we expect you to forgo a measure of your
individual freedom when you participate in chats or newsgroups on company
business, as outlined below.
4
5. While our direct connection to the Internet offers a cornucopia of potential
benefits, it can also open the door to some significant risks to our data and systems
if we do not follow appropriate security discipline. As presented in greater detail
below, that may mean preventing machines with sensitive data or applications
from connecting to the Internet entirely, or it may mean that certain users must be
prevented from using certain Internet features like file transfers. The overriding
principle is that security is to be everyone’s first concern. An Internet user can be
held accountable for any breaches of security or confidentiality.
Certain terms in this policy should be understood expansively to include related
concepts. Company includes our affiliates, subsidiaries, and branches. Document
covers just about any kind of file that can be read on a computer screen as if it
were a printed page, including the so-called HTML files read in an Internet
browser, any file meant to be accessed by a word processing or desk-top
publishing program or its viewer, or the files prepared for the Adobe Acrobat
reader and other electronic publishing tools. Graphics includes photographs,
pictures, animations, movies, or drawings. Display includes monitors, flat-panel
active or passive matrix displays, monochrome LCDs, projectors, televisions and
virtual-reality tools.
All employees granted Internet access with company facilities will be provided
with a written copy of this policy. All Internet users must sign the following
statement:
"I have a received a written copy of my company’s Internet usage policy. I fully
understand the terms of this policy and agree to abide by them. I realize that ITC’s
security software may record for management use the Internet address of any site
that I visit and keep a record of any network activity in which I transmit or receive
any kind of file. I acknowledge that any message I send or receive will be recorded
and stored in an archive file for management use. I know that any violation of this
policy could lead to dismissal or even criminal prosecution."
2. DETAILED INTERNET POLICY PROVISIONS
A) Management and Administration
ITC has software and systems in place that can monitor and record all
Internet usage. We want you to be aware that our security systems are
capable of recording (for each and every user) each World Wide Web site
visit, each chat, newsgroup or email message, and each file transfer into and
out of our internal networks, and we reserve the right to do so at any time.
No employee should have any expectation of privacy as to his or her
Internet usage. Our managers will review Internet activity and analyze
usage patterns, and they may choose to publicize this data to assure that
5
6. company Internet resources are devoted to maintaining the highest levels of
productivity.
We reserve the right to inspect any and all files stored in private areas of
our network in order to assure compliance with policy. The display of any
kind of sexually explicit image or document on any company system is a
violation of our policy on sexual harassment. In addition, sexually explicit
material may not be archived, stored, distributed, edited or recorded using
our network or computing resources.
ITC uses independently-supplied software and data to identify inappropriate
or sexually-explicit Internet sites. We may block access from within our
networks to all such sites that we know of. If you find yourself connected
incidentally to a site that contains sexually explicit or offensive material,
you must disconnect from that site immediately, regardless of whether that
site had been previously deemed acceptable by any screening or rating
program.
This company’s Internet facilities and computing resources must not be
used knowingly to violate the laws and regulations of Fiji or any other
nation, or the laws and regulations of any state, city, province or other local
jurisdiction in any material way. Use of any company resources for illegal
activity is grounds for immediate dismissal, and we will cooperate with any
legitimate law enforcement activity.
Any software or files downloaded via the Internet into the GOVNET
network become the property of ITC. Any such files or software may be
used only in ways that are consistent with their licenses or copyrights.
No employee may use company facilities knowingly to download or
distribute pirated software or data.
No employee may use GOVNET’s Internet facilities to deliberately
propagate any virus, worm, Trojan horse, or trap-door program code.
No employee may use GOVNET’s Internet facilities knowingly to disable
or overload any computer system or network, or to circumvent any system
intended to protect the privacy or security of another user.
Each employee using the Internet facilities of GOVNET shall identify
himself or herself honestly, accurately and completely (including one’s
company affiliation and function where requested) when participating in
6
7. chats or newsgroups, or when setting up accounts on outside computer
systems.
Only those employees or officials who are duly authorized to speak to the
media, to analysts or in public gatherings on behalf of GOVNET may
speak/write in the name of GOVNET to any newsgroup or chat room. Other
employees may participate in newsgroups or chats in the course of business
when relevant to their duties, but they do so as individuals speaking only
for themselves. Where an individual participant is identified as an employee
or agent of this company, the employee must refrain from any unauthorized
political advocacy and must refrain from the unauthorized endorsement or
appearance of endorsement by GOVNET of any commercial product or
service not sold or serviced by this company, its subsidiaries or its affiliates.
Only those managers and company officials who are authorized to speak to
the media, to analysts or in public gatherings on behalf of GOVNET may
grant such authority to newsgroup or chat room participants.
ITC retains the copyright to any material posted to any forum, newsgroup,
chat or World Wide Web page by any employee in the course of his or her
duties.
Employees are reminded that chats and newsgroups are public forums
where it is inappropriate to reveal confidential company information,
customer data, trade secrets, and any other material covered by existing
company secrecy policies and procedures. Employees releasing protected
information via a newsgroup or chat – whether or not the release is
inadvertent – will be subject to all penalties under in existing data security
policies and procedures.
Use of company Internet access facilities to commit infractions such as
misuse of company assets or resources, sexual harassment, unauthorized
public speaking and misappropriation or theft of intellectual property are
also prohibited by general company policy, and will be sanctioned under
the relevant provisions of the personnel handbook.
ITC will limit Internet access to those employees who demonstrate a
legitimate business need. Recommendations must be given from managers
within the section, and to also include time slots, sites to visit and reasons
for going to the site.
Since a wide variety of materials may be deemed offensive by colleagues,
customers or suppliers, it is a violation of company policy to store, view,
7
8. print or redistributes any document or graphic file that is not directly related
to the user’s job or the Fiji Government ’s business activities.
Employees may use their Internet facilities for non-business research or
browsing during meal time or other breaks, or outside of work hours,
provided that all other usage policies are adhered to.
ITC will comply with reasonable requests from law enforcement and
regulatory agencies for logs, diaries and archives on individuals’ Internet
activities.
Employees with Internet access may download only software with direct
business use, and must arrange to have such software properly licensed and
registered. Downloaded software must be used only under the terms of its
license.
Employees with Internet access may not use company Internet facilities to
download entertainment software or games, or to play games against
opponents over the Internet.
Employees with Internet access may not use company Internet facilities to
download images or videos unless there is an explicit business-related use
for the material.
Employees with Internet access may not upload any software licensed to
the Fiji Government or data owned or licensed by the Fiji Government
without explicit authorization from the manager responsible for the
software or data.
B) Technical
User IDs and passwords help maintain individual accountability for Internet
resource usage. Any employee who obtains a password or ID for an Internet
resource must keep that password confidential. Company policy prohibits
the sharing of user IDs or passwords obtained for access to Internet sites.
Any file that is downloaded must be scanned for viruses before it is run or
accessed.
Video and audio streaming and downloading technologies represent
significant data traffic which can cause local network congestion. Video
and audio downloading are can only be done with prior approval from ITC.
8
9. C) Security
ITC has installed [a variety of firewalls, proxies, Internet address screening
programs and other security systems] to assure the safety and security of the
Fiji Government’s networks. Any employee who attempts to disable, defeat
or circumvent any company security facility will be subject to immediate
dismissal.
Computers that use their own modems to create independent data
connections sidestep our network security mechanisms. An individual
computer’s private connection to any outside computer can be used by an
attacker to compromise any company network to which that computer is
attached. That is why any computer used for independent dial-up or leased-
line connections to any outside computer or network must be physically
isolated from company’s internal networks.
Only those Internet services and functions with documented business
purposes for this company will be enabled at the Internet firewall.
- However, users with a specific business need for FTP may request such
access in writing from the IS/IT/department management.
Any machine used for FTP may not contain any sensitive applications or
data.
Any machine used for FTP must be isolated from all servers that contain
sensitive applications or data.
Any machine used for FTP can be used only for Internet access and must be
isolated completely from all internal networks and servers.
FTP will be disabled for users on networks used for running mission-
critical applications or the storage and production of core business data.
9
10. 3. DECLARATION
I have read, understand and acknowledge receipt of the Internet Usage policy. I
will comply with the guidelines set out in this policy and understand that failure to
do so might result in withdrawal of services and disciplinary or legal action.
