UI Information Security Panel and Presentation April 24, 2007

Do you see computer security issues as a ticking time bomb you can do nothing about?  Is it just a matter of time before it affects you?  Attend the University of Idaho Computer Security Awareness Day (CSAD 2006) training sessions to find out what you can do to avoid the downtime, embarrassment, and loss of trust that can occur when computer systems are "hacked".

Did you know the University of Idaho network is "scanned" approximately 450,000 times a day by computer systems outside the university network? This averages to about 50-60 scans on EVERY computer on the network EVERY day.

October 12th, 2006, is the University of Idaho's second Computer Security Awareness Day and Information Technology Services (ITS) is planning a number of activities towards educating all "Netizens" on the impacts of computer security in the world today.

Did you understand what that computer support technician actually said?  Was it really English?  Use this definition list to understand some of the more common "jargon" related to computer security.
