Hello All,
This may be the right time to stress an issue which those of us who worked
on the Minimum Security Standards are concerned that people don't
overlook: this policy applies to _any_ host connecting to the campus
network.
Not just laptops brought onto campus, but also any home systems which
connect via a campus ip address. Our long-term goal is to have a "network
access control" system which will enable us to scan any host prior to
letting it on the campus network. If the host does not meet those
standards we can check for, it will be routed to a captive site where the
necessary upgrades are available.
We're not talking about having this in place by next May, but you should
be aware of the direction we're going.
