Information for a Janet organization on scanning activity that may affect their network. Within an organization’s own network scanning activity may be a legitimate form of audit or of information gathering; but it is almost never acceptable otherwise without the express permission of the managers of the target network.

A few simple things are essential for the security of any network connected to today’s hostile Internet. Up-to-date patches All software, operating systems and applications, needs regular updates to remove vulnerabilities as they are discovered. These patches should be installed as promptly as possible after they have been properly tested. Particular care needs to be paid to applications for which automatic updating is not practicable; for example, most Web-based applications. You should contact your software vendor for details of when updates are released.
