However, there are important differences. Physical threats are more directly linked to physical location. Linking to the Internet is linking to the entire world. An organization whose physical plant is in a remote and friendly place, say Montana, might have an open physical campus, but still require a restrictive Internet policy. The Internet can be a form of public dialogue.
Many organizations instruct employees how to work with the public or the media.
These policies will probably need to be ported to electronic interactions. Many employees may not be aware of the public nature of the Internet. The Internet is not the only means of Internet-working. Connecting to the Internet and the telephone system share some threats and vulnerabilities. Getting Policy Implemented Don't assume that just because your organization has a lot of policies or directives or internal regulations that that is how policy is set.
