My University is going through the same process. What I have found to be very informative is to research the member listing and just shoot an e-mail to specific people and look at their individual web sites. Everyone I have worked with has been very helpful. As far as dealing with SPAM, I believe User Awareness is a key way to approach that. Filter's are very hard to setup for a University type atmosphere (at least here it is). You could create a policy or add to an e-mail policy any reference to SPAM originating from campus and the consequences from doing so. Proper IDS placement can be accomplished after an Assessment and you determine your critical assets. I found www.security.vt.edu as a great reference for doing Assessments. Hope this helps a little, Charles Crawford University of Kansas IT Security Officer 785-864-0491 ccrawf () ku edu -----Original Message----- From: Derek Hilley [mailto:dhilley () ACCD EDU] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 4:08 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Enterprise Wide Security Plan Hello All, I am relatively new to the discussion list, but after reading Bruce Purcell's email it sounds like everyone responds well. The Community College I work at will be implementing an Enterprise Wide Security Solution in the following months. The questions we have are as follows: 1) Can you suggest policies and plans from institutions that have implemented Enterprise Wide Security? I have research a few that I have seen previously on the listserv. 2) Main areas of concerns are: -Antivirus -AntiSpam(30% of our traffic) -Intrusion Detection -Bandwidth Management. Any suggestions of a solution, product(s), and/or helpful research? Thank you for your help in advance!
