Most organizations rely on a virtual private network environment to enable connectivity from remote and mobile employees, providing secure access to internal networks, systems, applications and data.

This policy, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, outlines a set of best practices for IT to deploy and secure VPNs in your organization. It also defines acceptable use policies for end users on corporate-issued and personal devices.

Featured text from the policy:

ACCEPTABLE USAGE

Hardware, software, network services and support provided by the organization for VPN or remote usage are for the exclusive purpose of performing or fulfilling job responsibilities. Use of these resources is contingent on your agreement to comply with this policy and directions for and/or restrictions of use of these resources as determined by IT personnel.

Access should be based on two-factor authentication, with passwords rotated every 60 days.
