Network Management in Organizations 2IntroductionThe concept of ethical use of computers and networks in an organization is relatively new but is a growing field of study. Nowadays, with the increasing use of computers in the organizations, official code of ethics has started to be published that specify the use of computers. However, theadvancement in technology sometimes results in the leaving of ethical considerations behind. Therefore, when various technological dilemmas are faced, general and historical guidelines are used by the ethical computer workers for the purpose of making informed decisions (Frenz, 2017).Identification of IssuesThe computer resources and network of the organization are often used by the employees just like at home which can even result in putting their jobs and company at risk. If the computer and networks are used by the employees in an inappropriate manner in the organization then the security of the data can be endangered and may result in a situation which could prevent the normal conduct of business (Dangiagala, 2017). The following issues have been identified in an organization-Personal Internet Usage- Many employees in an organization use the network of the company fortheir personal usage including shopping, accessing private emails, social media and banking transactions. This leads to slowing down of the network ultimately hindering its use for business purposes (Corporate Compliance Insights, 2017).Email- Improper use of the email system can even result in heavy business losses for an organization and loss of data. Sensitive data such as trade secrets should be first encrypted beforecausing its transmission through an email system and should be sent only to a known and authorized email address.Harassment- Inappropriate videos, images and jokes should never be shared or accessed through the workplace computers, emails and network as it contains sexually suggestive or discriminatory content and the recipient may find it offensive and can even issue harassment claims against the employee and the company (Hughes, 2017).
