As a Network Admin how much should we lock down a network, by what I mean is how little internet access should employees truely get?

Are we expected to moniter the network to see where workers are going or trying to go, or is that too extreeme?

If the business has to comply with any Certification Regimes then this is already spelt out for what is and is not acceptable.

As for how much Internet Access workers should get this depends on the job. If their job requires Internet Access then obviously they need it but if it doesn't require any Net Access they don't need access to the Net or maybe even E-Mail.

As for monitoring this also depends on what is required. It may be necessary to protect the business from some employees but it may not.

as mentioned earlier, it depends upon ur fleet, if the user need email u wont b able to block internet access. if u wana control internet best way implement proxy and also if u have pix firewall in place then use firegen to monitor the most frequently access website and then u block it if u c its not related to business use.

hope it helps a bit
