Scanning Notices

[Matt Marmet <matt.marmet () ARMSTRONG EDU>]

Hello Everyone,

Here at Armstrong we are looking in to scanning our internal networks
(desktop and server networks). I was wondering if other institutions were
doing this and with what frequency? Also, do you notify the campus that
these scans are going to be taking place and, if so, how much lead time do
you give the campus? What kind of email or disclaimers do you send out
letting people know what the scan includes? We are only looking at basic
port scans and such at the moment. Everything we would be doing is
non-invasive and not "invading" the users desktops looking for personal
data. Thanks for your replies.

Regards,

Matt
