The water is wide: network security at Kenyon College, 1995-2005
Pages 237 - 240
Abstract
The "perfect storm" of unprotected Windows systems, the start of the school year, and network-aware viruses hit in August of 2003. The resulting chaos led to a sea change in how many institutions secure their networks, and in their relationship to their student-owned computers. At Kenyon College, we changed our student antivirus policy, our ResNet authentication mechanism, and our network topography to stop the spread of malicious traffic.Of course, this was neither the beginning nor the end of our network security efforts. In this paper, I will offer an overview of network security at Kenyon College over the last decade. I will explore how the network and our staffing has changed over the years, the perceived and exploited threats to the network, the actions we took in response to them, and the issues we wish we'd seen coming. Finally, I will explore how these trends inform our current decision-making, as we try to anticipate new threats and prepare our response in advance.
