After discussing the possibilities and limitations of online assessment, participants will leave with strategies for using assessment to improve instruction and to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning.
     
Workshop 2
Security

Securing Your Network

Joe Walter, Verizon
Jim Marussich, Cisco

 

 

This workshop clarifies why a security policy is the most important component in securing your network. A step-by-step guide for developing a meaningful security policy will be discussed. It will provide resources, reference materials and an example from policy to implementation.

Network administrators are faced with a constant barrage of email spams, hacking kits, worms, and denial of service attacks that take the university/college network out of service and account for thousands of dollars to get back online. This workshop provide information on building a security policy, using the tools and techniques that are available in your current routers, switches, and firewalls to enforce that policy, and other tools to proactively avoid future attacks in your network.
