Recently Revised NPC Policy on Server Managed PDAs

Effective January 12, 2009

The Network Policy Committee, IT Roundtable, and the Vice President for ISC, wish to call attention to a recently revised networking/computing policy. This policy, the “Policy on Server-Managed Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs),” establishes requirements for protecting confidential University data contained on or accessed by PDAs managed by University servers, whether those devices are owned by individuals or the University. The recent revision reduces the minimum password length from six to four characters, and requires a PDA auto-wipe after no more than ten failed password attempts.

The Revised Policy on Server-Managed Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) can be found online at the following URL: www.net.isc.upenn.edu/policy/approved/20080407-serverpda.html.
