Earlier this week the The NCSA Cybersecurity Division will be hosting hosted a lunchtime security talk. This session will cover covered collection, analysis, and alerting tools used by the Security team. People with a range of technological literacy are encouraged to attend. Lunch will be provided beginning at 11:45 before the presentation begins.The talk began with security engineer Jacob Gallion giving a summary of the Incident Response Security Team (IRST); who they are and what they do. Later, lead security engineer Chris Clausen presented on the various monitoring services used at NCSA, as well as common security incidents that the team encounters at NCSA.
One of the major takeaways from the presentation is that the security team encourages NCSA staff to use the System Vetting Checklist when setting up new systems to reduce the surface of attack.
