>MIT Network Security Team
>
>MIT's Network Security team was formed in response to the rising
>number of incidents of system break-ins and related attacks on MIT
>systems and networks.
>
>The Team works with members of the MIT community, both system
>administrators and users, to increase the security of MITnet and
>connected hosts. The Team cooperates with administrators at other
>sites and law enforcement as appropriate in response to security
>incidents.
>
>The Team is charged with responding to and protecting from such
>attacks. Our work includes incident response, notification of
>threats, user education, vulnerability scanning, and working with
>outside organizations and agencies on issues of shared concern.
>
>While this effort is organized under the supervision of Information
>Systems staff, team members come from throughout the MIT community.
>Since security concerns cross organizational and topological
>boundaries, we have tried to include representatives from
>departments, labs, and centers from all parts of campus.
>
>We will be discussing the organization and responsibilities of the
>Network Security Team, how it does its work, and what challenges we
>face.
