Security Awareness approaching 9/11 Anniversary
I am wondering what others are doing to prepare for 9/11 anniversary. Although I have not seen any alerts yet, I do expect to see a heightened state of alert for the 9/11 anniversary. Just as holidays seem to be an attraction for virus writers, I am treating the 9/11 anniversary the same way. Maybe I am being too paranoid, but my paranoia has saved my rear a few times.
So... Here's what I plan on doing:
1.) Ensure Antivirus definitions are indeed up to date.
2.) Update all security patches and service packs where necessary.
3.) Check and confirm good backups prior to 9/11.
4.) Force mandatory password change.
5.) Send reminder to users not to open suspicious attachments.
6.) Inform users who to contact if they witness suspicious activity.
7.) Monitor IRC, news groups, etc. for security and virus alerts.
8.) Monitor firewall, router, and web server logs for suspicious activity.
9.) Disable any un-necessary services.
Note: Most of the above mentioned should already be part of a good admin's daily list. I mention them to reinforce the need to be aware of security issues before they become security incidents.
