11.1 Acceptable Usage<br />

The State <strong>of</strong> Kansas requires users <strong>of</strong> its information systems to conduct themselves<br />

appropriately in regards to upholding and maintaining the security <strong>of</strong> the State’s<br />

information systems and the information they hold. To that end it defines acceptable<br />

• Internet usage<br />

• E-mail usage<br />

immediate and permanent dismissal with cause.<br />

As a requirement <strong>of</strong> information system access, and as a component <strong>of</strong> security<br />
