Secure Server Initiative
The Secure Server Initiative is focused on identifying, classifying and protecting UTHSC servers.
Two tools are available: Click here for an Excel tool that captures and classifies the system. Enable MACROS! (If you are a MAC user, use this version that does not have Macros. Click here for the "MAC version" of the tool.) The second tool is a spreadsheet to accumulate multiple systems. Click here for that spreadsheet.
System custodians must submit required data about each server using the tools above Security@utmem.edu.
Help Secure Campus Computing
Welcome to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's resource for information
technology security. The Information Technology Security Group
(ITSG) is charged with the responsibility of network and systems security at
the UTHSC.
The ITSG works with members of the UTHSC community, including system
administrators, students, staff and faculty, to protect the UT network
and connected hosts. The ITSG cooperates with administrators at
other sites, as well as law enforcement entities, in response to
security incidents.
Security threats come in a variety of forms, but the end result
is the same: a serious disruption to our work. Compounding the security
weaknesses of the Internet is the widespread availability of “hacker-helper”
programs on the Internet. Today, talented hackers are writing extremely
powerful hacking tools and making them available for download on
the Internet. No longer must the attacker be an expert or understand
the nuances of the target’s vulnerabilities, all they need
to do is point the tool at the target and hit the “Attack”
button.
This ability of attackers to use readily available software has attracted the criminal element who
uses that software for identity theft. These criminals also use fake e-mails and fake websites to attract victims.
