Subject: [SECURITY] EDUCAUSE Live Event: Improving Security Through Automated Policy Enforcement



I would like to bring to your attention a  free, interactive web seminar on "Improving Security Through Automated 
Policy Enforcement" scheduled for next Friday, November 12th, 1-2 p.m.  More details and registration information is 
available at  <http://www.educause.edu/LIVE0413> http://www.educause.edu/LIVE0413

This seminar will highlight concepts as well as steps that institutions have taken to secure unmanaged computers, 
especially on residential networks.  Although the seminar will specifically describe effective practices and solutions 
from the University of Connecticut, New York University, and Lewis & Clark College, we would love to highlight other 
campus approaches.  There are two ways that you can contribute to this presentation and future outreach efforts related 
to this topic:

1.  Submit your campus implementation as an Effective Security Practice by completing the submission form available at  
<file://www.educause.edu/ep> www.educause.edu/ep  The submission form will allow you to describe your approach, 
benefits, shortcomings, and future plans.  Your campus submission will also be linked to from the Effective Security 
Practices Guide (  <file://www.educause.edu/security/guide> www.educause.edu/security/guide) and will be a helpful 
resource for the community.

2.  Respond to this email by describing how your institution has automated security policy enforcement.  Phil Rodriguez 
from NYU, one of the presenters for the seminar, has suggested that there are five basic things that institutions are 
doing:

a) Registration - Active External Detection - DHCP Isolation - NAT/DNS External Remediation 
b) Registration - Active External Detection - VLAN Isolation - Local Remediation 
c) Registration - Agent Detection - Inline Isolation - X Remediation 
d) Registration - Passive Detection - Inline Isolation - Local Remediation 
e) Registration - Homegrown Agent Detect. - X Isolation - X Remediation 
We would love to get examples from each of these categories.  So, please consider submitting an Effective Security 
Practices using the submission form (  <file://www.educause.edu/ep> www.educause.edu/ep) or let us know what steps you 
have taken that you consider effective for your environment.

Thanks, 
-Rodney
