SNS (Systems and Network Security), the central IT security unit on
campus reporting directly to CIO Jack McCredie, has purchased an annual
site license for the highly praised SANS Consensus Guides.
These security guides are created by computer security professionals
sharing techniques they have found to be effective, integrating the
techniques into step-by-step plans and then subjecting the plans, in
detail, to the close scrutiny of other experts.
The process continues until consensus is reached, hence the name SANS
Consensus Guides.
Currently there are seven guides: Solaris Security, Securing Linux Part
1, Securing Linux Part 2, Windows NT Security, Securing Windows 2000,
Incident Handling, and Disaster Recovery.
These guides exist in PDF format and can be found at:
http://sec-info.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/consensus-login.pl
or linked to from the SNS website:
Our license is limited to members of the UC Berkeley community so access
is provided via Calnet authentication.
A big advantage to the online format and our license is that these
guides will continue to be updated and added to over time, so you may
want to reprint them in the future just prior to installing new machines
or applying maintenance.
We hope the community finds the Consensus Guides useful. Please send
comments or suggestions to sns@uclink.berkeley.edu and we will send them
on to SANS in a consolidated format.
Thanks,
Craig
