Fall 2009 Internet2 Member Meeting Session 10000783

Glasnost or Tyranny? You can have Secure and Open Networks!

October 07, 2009, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
UTC/GMT -5 hours (CDT)
Location: Bowie C

Session Abstract Today’s colleges and university network is supporting more services than ever before – from collaboration and course delivery to student information systems, and portals -- you name it – the network does it. Many of these services are predicated on an Open network where users access services, exchange information and work to advance learning outcomes. Network managers are challenged with supporting these open connections while at the same time, ensuring the network, databases, applications, web pages, etc are protected from malicious behavior. Can these two seemingly contradicting goals be accomplished? In this session, AT&T will review how colleges and universities can use techniques such as traffic netflow analysis to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities such as the Storm Worm, Conficker.C, and DDOS. Coupled with strong premise-based security, traffic netflow analysis can provide colleges and universities a comprehensive approach to protecting their infrastructure while enabling the openness needed to support today’s students, faculty and staff.
