Re: Campus Google search appliance deployments

[Steve Brukbacher <sab2 () UWM EDU>]

Hi David,
We have been running one of these for about a year.  One thing we did is
design a perl script to search our domain for SSN's and some other types
of confidential data. The risk was that many web pages that had been
buried for years would now be easily found.  We did find a few things
and got them taken care of quickly.  We now run this on a a regular basis.
