Using a Layered Defense Security Model for Incident ResponseTuesday, January 13, 2004 Steven Schuster, Interim Executive Director, Cornell University Campus environments present many interesting challenges when responding or reacting to large-scale security events. Due to the widely distributed IT support model of most campuses, the varying levels of IT expertise within distributed departments, and the nature or scale of some of the current security threats, a new incident response strategy is required. This presentation will outline an incident response strategy that draws significantly from the layered defense security model. |
