Which uses of SWLCAT IT resources are considered acceptable and which are unacceptable?

• A. Acceptable: work-related tasks; Unacceptable: personal business, illegal activities, installing unauthorized software, or sharing credentials.
• B. Acceptable: personal streaming; Unacceptable: working;
• C. Acceptable: browsing social media; Unacceptable: emailing clients.
• D. Acceptable: using own devices; Unacceptable: using company devices.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is distinguishing between acceptable personal use and restricted professional use of SWLCAT IT resources. Browsing social media is presented as acceptable personal use because it can be kept to breaks or non-work time and doesn’t involve handling client data or making business decisions. Emailing clients, on the other hand, is reserved for official communications through approved channels; using IT resources for client correspondence can risk exposing confidential information, create potential miscommunication, and bypass security controls, so it’s marked unacceptable. The other options mix activities that are more typically restricted or out of policy scope, such as personal streaming or using personal devices in a way that conflicts with work policies, which is why they don’t fit as well.
