Server Health and Security Program

by CIS Staff

As the central UNH IT service organization, CIS is charged with helping to protect UNH servers. Services that are available from CIS in support of this program include public and customized firewall services, centrally funded anti-virus software for personal computers and servers, and automated services for keeping malicious software current on personal computers that are used to log into the servers. As an additional response to this charge, CIS developed the Server Health and Security Program to help eliminate common vulnerabilities on UNH systems.

CIS is asking all server administrators to complete a questionnaire located at
www.unh.edu/computer-security under the ‘hot topics’ link. More detailed information about the Server Health and Security Program is also located at this same link. Please login to the questionnaire using your Blackboard credentials (username and password). If you do not know your login credentials, please call the CIS Help Desk & Dispatch Center at 862-4242. By filling out the questionnaire, server administrators will help CIS identify the systems that need to be checked out and will initiate a collaborative communication with the CIS staff that is providing this service. As the next step, CIS staff will schedule a remote scan of the servers to check for common security vulnerabilities. After the results of both the questionnaire and scan results are compiled, CIS will e-mail a server report to the server administrator, along with any recommendations.

CIS is asking all server administrators to fill out the questionnaire to help make this new program a success. It is through a collaborative effort that server administrators and CIS together will create a better protected information technology environment than any one group can do on its own.

For questions or concerns, please call 862-4242 or use the ‘contact us’ link, located within the questionnaire to contact us in writing. Thank you in advance for your participation.
