As each of you work towards creating, and managing your Ministry issued devices, please ensure that you are keeping it, and any sensitive information on it is safe. You will be required to create a password for the device, along with your email, and any other Ministry managed websites. Be sure that you are locking your computer before you walk away. You are liable for anything that happens to your device while it is loaned out to you, regardless of who is using it. It is in your name, be sure to monitor it's usage.
The front line of a good technological defense is a strong passwords Please ensure that your device, along with your email are protected. Short, simple and easy passwords are not acceptable. The Ministry of Magic requires that your password has at least two upper and two lower case letters, a minimum of three numbers, and 2 unique symbols. Simple sequences such as "password" "qwerty" or "abc123" or any variation there of, will not be allowed.
Employees will be required to create a new, unique, password every 90 days. The system will not allow you to create and use the same password, your new password must be completely unique from your last 3 passwords. Reminders will be sent to your email for seven consecutive days before the system will lock you out. If you are locked out, or are having issues setting up, or maintaining a strong password, please reach out or visit the MoM IT Department
Reminder: If you must use your ministry issued device out of the ministry building, please be sure to connect to the MVPN (Magical Virtual Private Network) to ensure that your devise along the Ministries network will remain safe.
