Abstract

This session will present how one research institution addressed IT vulnerabilities and attacks on its computing services since August 2003. The dynamic interactions of heterogeneous computing platforms, bleeding-edge research, and the need for reliable IT operations are challenges. UC-Berkeley’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences department will present its findings on risk assessment, firewall options, system management, user education, and short- and long-term technical solutions.
