Hi Pat,

Considering just email…

a.       We allow incidental use of the PC during breaks/lunch.  As long
as it does not affect the work performance or environment.

b.       Modern desktop/network virus defenses and mail scanners do a
good job of thwarting malicious email attachments.  Malicious content, like
ransomware or phishing, needs to be handled with a combination of firewall
address filtering and end user education.  Nether are perfect.  I see no
difference in threat between personal Gmail or business email accounts.  I
would not support the use of thick email clients (Outlook or otherwise) to
access personal email.  It would be via web browser.

Kevin may have a difference spin on this.

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
