Automatic Lock

Lock Your Computer

All workstations must have the auto-lock feature enabled. The recommended amount of idle time for the auto-lock feature is 10 minutes and must not exceed 20 minutes. In areas where the workstation is visible or accessible in a public or shared workspace, users must manually lock the workstation if left unattended.

If you leave your computer, lock it and your office door. This prevents unauthorized access to your data and accounts. Locking also discourages prying eyes, hackers, and thieves. Users are responsible for any activity originating from their accounts which they can reasonably be expected to control.
