Enforce the policy evenly and uniformly, and users will soon learn to expect fair treatment, as well as the boundaries of their behavior. For more on acceptable use policies, see Chapter 6, Legalities and Etiquette of the Internet. Preparing the user community Computer security can't be a lone venture. Although every organization that has a computer system have at least one person who stays abreast of computer security issues and initiates security efforts, computer security is every user's responsibility.

Security goes beyond technical solutions.
One example of an effective technical solution is the use of passwords. However, this highly effective solution can fail miserably if users are not active participants in making this strategy effective. Imagine for a moment that you define a controlled set of people that you entrust with access to your various possessions. When you pass out the keys to your trusted individuals, you do not expect them to pass along the original or copies of the keys to other individuals. If they did, that would compromise your entire security plan.
