Attack Recognition and MitigationIIA offers network monitoring that can provide a department, unit, or research team with information about who is using the network, the applications being used, and when the network is used. This information is useful for detecting activity that indicates potential security and policy violations and for resolving these issues.Educational Materials and ActivitiesIIA develops materials and activities to help educate the campus community on IT security topics. These materials include online how-to documentation for those who manage their own computer security and various events aimed at students, faculty and staff.

Vulnerability ScanningVulnerability scanning is a process of remotely examining hosts on a network for known, detectable vulnerabilities.
