| Abstract Text: | The security of an institutional WebCT implementation is a vital issue. This poster will highlight the implications of security breaches to a WebCT system and provide insight into the security measures adopted by the University of Ulster. The poster will graphically describe how UU has sought to enhance WebCT system resilience through the adoption of SAN technology, multi-pathing data / network access, VLAN technology and the utilization of dedicated secure thin client terminals. The University of Ulster's WebCT data management model will also be described, with particular emphasis on the use of IMS enterprise API functionality and in appropriate contexts, the use of second party approvers to realize effective data auditability and accountability. The poster will conclude with an overview of active data scanning processes implemented to identify and quarantine suspicious activity / data. |
