TECH BRIEFINGS: Living Behind Firewalls -- A Survival Guide

As more machines move behind firewalls, not only do networking folk have to learn more about applications, but application/sysadmins/dbas have to learn more about networking. This special 2-hour briefing is targeted at ITSS staff who have applications, systems, or databases behind the administrative firewalls. The following topics will be covered:

* What's a firewall?

* What's a vpn?

* How does Stanford deploy firewalls and vpns?

* What's the process to get behind a firewall?

* What's a rule and how do I add/change/delete one?

* X doesn't work. Is it the firewall?

* So how secure are we?

RSVP to Sunia Yang required. Seating is limited and preference will be given to ITSS staff.
