Here are the questions/answers for/from Network:
Hi,
thanks for your message.
I'll answer what I can however there are some points that I'm not able to answer as
they either relate to our security or to another group.
Hope this is OK.

We use firewalls and other applications and devices for security. These work on port
numbers, traffic content and other traffic/port behaviour.
We used both fixed IP and DHCP across the wired and wireless networks.
Anti-Virus software is on all College supplied computers.
> 2. Do you ever perform ethical hacking as a security measure?
Would rather not say.
> 3. How long/far back do you keep back access logs, say, for a

Not my area however it is an interesting point. Perhaps the college Data Registrar
could advise?

We track traffic flows from some parts of the network - between major buildings,
other parts of the campus or if there is a problem but not smaller buildings as a
rule.

I hope this helps.
