Very similar here at Lane County.  We also have good quality public WiFi for 
use with their personal devices.  We have policy that limits personal use of 
county PC's to 1 hour per week on lunch and breaks only, though enforcement on 
that can be tricky.

Hi Pat,


a.       It is allowed but discouraged.  We prefer/recommend they use their own 
devices (i.e. personal smartphones).

b.      We have general defenses against malware (AV plus anit-malware) and 
malicious links/sites (proxy-based web filter), which apply to all websites not 
just personal webmail.

Hope this helps,

Howdy folks!

Gresham has a long tradition of allowing access to personal email (like Gmail) 
via web browser from City owned computers.

I have been working up a plan to shift that practice and mitigate the risks it 
represents and I was hoping that you guys could help me out  by answering the 
following two questions for me.  I am happy to compile the results and present 
them back to the group when we are done if you would like.

1)      Does your organization allow staff to access personal email from city 
owned devices?
a.       If not, do you provide alternatives for them? Could you explain?
b.      If you do allow access, are there checks in-place to mitigate any 
perceived threats?  Could you explain?

Thanks so much for your time and input!

~Pat
