TOPIC "Security Tools and the Campus Infrastructure Security
Survey Results"
DESCRIPTION Security is the result of doing, but improving the
security of the network requires tools and reflection.
The first part of the session will identify a variety of
incident response tools and processes covering some of the
tools and processes that have been deployed on campuses to
effectively deal with large scale incidents with
relatively modest security staffs. The second part of the
session will feature results of a 2005 survey of
educational and commercial providers in the US and
throughout the world, expanding on earlier results
presented at NANOG and IEEE/ACM SIGCOMM.
ABOUT ARBOR NETWORKS Arbor Networks(R) ensures the security and operational integrity of the world's most critical networks. Arbor's solutions are based on the proven Peakflow(R) platform, intelligent technology for network-wide data collection, analysis, anomaly detection An approach to intrusion detection that establishes a baseline model of behavior for users and components in a computer system or network. Deviations from the baseline cause alerts that direct the attention of human operators to the anomalies. See IDS and anomaly. , and threat mitigation MITIGATION. To make less rigorous or penal. 2.

Arbor is headquartered in Lexington, MA, with a research and development office in Ann Arbor Ann Arbor, city (1990 pop. 109,592), seat of Washtenaw co., S Mich., on the Huron River; inc. 1851. It is a research and educational center, with a large number of government and industrial research and development firms, many in high-technology fields such as , MI and overseas headquarters in London and Beijing. ABOUT THE SPRING 2006 INTERNET2 MEMBER MEETING The Spring 2006 Member Meeting will focus on issues in advanced networking strategies and policy and will highlight Internet2's partnerships among academia, industry, government, and the international community. Meeting sessions will, among other things, focus on collaborations with and among federal agencies, between the corporate community and higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. , and with international organizations. In particular, this spring's meeting will emphasize campus cyber (1) From "cybernetics," it is a prefix attached to everyday words to add a computer, electronic or online connotation. The term is similar to "virtual," but the latter is used more frequently. See virtual. infrastructure and the advanced networking needs of the campus research and education community. The program will provide an opportunity to present sessions that share a longer-term, strategic view of community priorities, especially the research and education community, for the uses of advanced networking, as well as those that highlight emerging network and application technologies and key projects already underway. |
