Fermilab's Dane Skow Speaks at the DuKane Valley Council's Technology Seminar
|
| Dane Skow |
Last Friday, December 5, Dane Skow, Fermilab's Deputy Computer Security Executive, spoke at the DuKane Valley Council's Technology Seminar about network security. Skow's presentation focused on the importance of protecting computer networks from hackers. "If you are casually administering your machine and not monitoring it, you shouldn't be on the internet," Skow said. "You will be hacked." Skow discussed various tools that Fermilab uses, such as patches, firewalls and vulnerability scanners, to prevent hackers. "Just doing patches is not enough though," Skow warned. "Fermilab's most effective tools are active monitors. These intrusion detector systems look for a pattern of attack, such as a single machine trying to connect to multiple machines." Other presentations at the seminar included, "Using Global Information Systems" and "Regulating Employee Use of the Internet."
