Information Technology Security
Security is not an end-state, it is a process: a continual cycle of deployment, analysis and redesign aimed at protecting both the computer technology and its stored information from an ever-evolving world of threats. The approach most likely to succeed provides “defense in depth” using a series of layers of interacting policies, components and software, such that if one layer fails, another may prevent or detect a compromise.
The goal of these Web pages is to provide some guidance and references for improving host/network security on campus. Some of these links are commonly available information, and are reachable from anywhere. Other linked pages contain information that could be used to aid in an exploit, and so are limited to members of the Colorado State University community via eID authentication.
