As part of its information security mission,
OIT Information Security has licensed Internet Scanner from
Internet Security Systems.
This tool allows us to scan any computer on the Georgia Tech network
for security vulnerabilities.
The Scanner connects to computers over the network and checks whether
known security problems have been corrected. In particular,
it checks that recommended security patches and software updates have
been applied, and it reports on the security-related system
configuration options that are in use.
We are currently scanning ResNet for vulnerabilities regularly. We plan to start
scanning the rest of the network for vulnerabilites shortly.
CSRs may request ISS keys to scan their designated areas.
