Antivirus software is critical to ensure information security of organizational networks and resources.

By establishing an antivirus policy, organizations can quickly identify and address malware and virus threats, as well as detect and appropriately respond to incidents.

The purpose of this Antivirus Policy, written by Madeline Clarke for TechRepublic Premium, is to provide guidelines for the implementation of antivirus software to all pertinent system components.

Organizational employees are responsible for adhering to the organization's antivirus policy, procedures and practices and engaging in the appropriate use of organizational electronic information resources under the organization's policies and the law.

Organizational employees must become knowledgeable about and follow relevant antivirus policy requirements and guidelines, the resources under their control and promptly report security-related incidents and violations involving their systems or accounts.

Organizational employees must additionally complete all required antivirus security-related training.
