Companies have acceptable use policies (AUPs) to clarify how employees can use company resources. These policies provide guidelines and rules to ensure that employees use company resources, such as computers, internet access, and software, in a responsible and proper manner. By clearly outlining the acceptable use of company resources, AUPs help prevent misuse, unauthorized access, data breaches, legal issues, and other potential risks. Additionally, AUPs may also address issues related to cybersecurity, data privacy, and intellectual property protection.
