Description


Policy Statement: Passwords are the most frequently utilized form of authentication for accessing a computing resource. Due to the widespread use of weak passwords, the proliferation of automated password-cracking programs, and the activity of malicious attackers, they are very often also the weakest link in securing data. Password use must therefore adhere to the following policy statement:

All passwords mush be strong passwords and follow the standards below.

  • Be at least ten characters in length
  • Contain at least one lowercase character
  • Contain at least one number
  • Contain at least one special character
  • Contain at least one uppercase character
  • Cannot contain your first name, last name, or username
  • Cannot match your last three passwords.
  • Must be changed every 90 days
