Greetings, As you likely know, Microsoft will discontinue extended support for Windows XP after April 8, 2014, effectively leaving those systems unpatched. Some are calling it a "perpetual zero day." [1] The EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council - Technologies, Operations and Practices Group is collecting different detection and mitigation strategies in order to provide a resource to the community. Please consider filling out this anonymous[2] survey to help create this resource for the good of the higher ed information security community: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xzCQkvuTBJYZBdxY8Vuzk4pULDTgZV1LOByG4DQzZXk/viewform Mike Osterman Co-Chair, Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) TOP Group IT Security Officer/Deputy Director, Enterprise Technology Whitman College [1] http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/08/16/windows-xp-zero-day.aspx [2] Unless you choose to provide your contact information.
