Cyber Security Initiative

The Dartmouth Cyber Security Initiative (CSI) is an ongoing collaboration between Peter Kiewit Computing Services and faculty, staff, and students from the Department of Computer Science, Thayer School of Engineering, and the Institute of Security in Technology Studies (ISTS). The CSI is focused on projects aimed at improving the security of the College's information systems. By coordinating research interests with practical concerns, the initiative has resulted in a number of innovative tools and procedures currently in use on production systems.

Ongoing goals of the initiative include:

  • Assess vulnerabilities of the infrastructure, desktops, and applications.
  • Make recommendations for improving the security of Dartmouth's assets.
  • Develop applications and procedures to improve the operational security of the College's information systems.
  • Train people to use more secure ways of accessing and transferring data, and to recognize security holes.

If you are a Dartmouth faculty or student who is interested in participating in this group, please send e-mail to technology-security-working-group@mac.dartmouth.edu.
