Information Protection and Security

IPS is experimenting with a new service. I'm producing a weekly report of threats and vulnerabilities which may be of particular interest to individuals responsible for IT producs and services at Rutgers.

The information is available on our web site here and also via RSS feed. It is updated once a week, on Thursday. The focus is on the major operating systems, software, and network protocols in use on RUNet and specifically any issues which could cause data loss, denial of service, or unauthorized access. It is intended to be the single place Rutgers IT staff can go each week if they don't have time to review multiple other sources on a daily basis. We're hoping we can do that work for you so you can spend your time properly securing technology against new threats.
 
I'd be very happy to hear any comments or suggestions on how to improve this product. In a few more weeks we'll make a larger public announcment on the usualy email lists to more widely publicize this, but until then you're welcome to share the links with others.
