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.
