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. Have you ever wondered what steps you can take to make your computer more secure?

November 30th is Computer Security Awareness Day and the University is planning a number of activities towards educating all "Netizens" on the impacts of computer security in the world today.

CSAD 2005 was a success!  The sessions were well attended by students, faculty and staff.  Representatives from LCSC and WSU also attended.  Here are a few photos of the event.
