We have an AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) set in place. We have post around the office reminders of how each employee can assist to protect critical information as well we have enable content filtering to prevent users from downloading files that could be malicious to the infrastructure. Workstation Domain are made up of the devices that employee used to connect to the IT Infrastructure with this we must make sure all the tools that are needed to do their jobs must be accessible and secure. The Workstation Domain must be kept as tight as possible without hindering the employee this where they first access the domain at this level also this where the most damage can be done by an employee. We have again educate our employees that a strong password that they can easily remember and no else can easily figure out also set certain policy on the workstations auto lockout after three attempts and workstation lock after idle for a period of time. We can install antivirus and malware software to ensure that our workstations are protected and monitored at all times. The LAN Domain is the one the requires the strongest security because at this level all the hardware and software were are joined together and also this is where the outside world meet the inside world meaning our LAN by connecting
