Vulnerability Assessment

The Information Security Office provides Nessus Vulnerability Scanner to individuals responsible for the security of University-owned devices for assessment of computers, computer systems, networks, or applications for weaknesses. Weakness can be defined as:

  • Vulnerabilities that allow a remote hacker to control or access sensitive data on a system
  • Misconfiguration (e.g. open mail relay, missing patches, etc.)
  • Default passwords, a few common passwords, and blank/absent passwords on some system accounts
  • Denials of service against the TCP/IP stack by using mangled packets
  • Preparation for PCI DSS audits

Digital Signage

Leveraging Carousel digital signage management software from Carousel, the digital signage service enables institutional units to control distributed signs from a central location. Digital Signage includes University Communications approved templates and integrates with Microsoft 365, Astra classroom scheduling, Everbridge emergency notifications, and EMS event scheduling.

ITS Academic IT can also assist with selecting displays and players and can coordinate with an approved AV vendor for a quote, scope of work, and installation.
