Lead Security Engineer Chris Clausen gave the November security talk to NCSA staff today. The presentation focused on security tips for travelers, especially those who travel with work devices, or need access NCSA/campus resources while traveling. A PDF copy of the slides is available here.
CSND is working on a page for NCSA staff to share and update this information; it is currently under construction.
This talk was the our last presentation for 2019. We will resume the quarterly security talks in the spring. Please contact Jeannette Dopheide if you have a suggestion for a future topic.
If you have questions about the presentation or security in general, please contact us at help+security@ncsa.illinois.edu.
