UCL Computer Security Newsletter - June 2011

The purpose of this newsletter is to keep all security reps and other interested parties informed about what is happening around UCL regarding computer security.  Further information from the Computer Security Team is always available at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/common/cst.

1.  CST news - comings and goings

Daniela Cooper leaves us this week to go on maternity leave.  We wish her well with everything.

Luci Thomas joins us on 28th June - welcome Luci.

Since these newsletters have not been that frequent recently, I will take this opportunity to say goodbye too.  Both Jon Macfarlane and I have resigned.

2.  IE6

This is still in use in UCL - please ensure you upgrade or use a different, newer browser.  

3.  Browsers more generally

Worth trying this - https://browsercheck.qualys.com/ - if you haven't seen it before.

4.  Contact

Please remember to contact us using cert(at) normal ucl address, rather than our individual email addresses. 

Our contact page will be updated with comings and goings. We have now moved offices - again - we are now in KLB, B108 and B109.

5.  General

Please note all correspondence from the UCL Computer Security Team is digitally signed either with personal PGP keys or the CERT team key (public keys available fromhttp://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/common/cst/contacts).

NB There may be a hiatus or a bit of trial and error in this when we move to Live@UCL as we have not determined exactly how we can best provide this. 

This newsletter and previous ones are available at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/common/cst/cst-newsletters (except currently the March 2007 one as that had sensitive information in it).

We welcome feedback on the content and organisation of documents on our web page.
