This service looks for potential errors in web site code and web server configuration that can be used to compromise the security of data on the web site or the network itself.
To provide a secure campus network, CUMC is blocking default open access from the Internet in to the CUMC network, with some ports and protocols (SMTP and NetBIOS) blocked on outgoing. To permit legitimate institutional business functions a Firewall Exception Request can be submitted to the CUMC IT Information Security group.
The owner of the system requiring the exclusion must be a Director-level or above person, or a Department or Division Administrator (or a designated Departmental or Divisional System administrator), or a senior faculty member, and must be the person to submit the request.
This service can be requested, and is required, in order to install a new server on the network. The scan looks for known vulnerabilities and common misconfiguration errors that may lead to a server compromise.
