Wow! A Severe threat level is a very serious and costly level. I haven't heard of anything that would push us up to that level. Does anyone on this list have any insight as to what forseeable actions might push us to this level? Just for Quick Review, Severe condition outlines the possible -Closing of public and government facilities AND -Monitoring, redirection or constraining of transportation systems Also has anyone started to see any increased network activity? I think we've all heard the rumors of the new E-War, i'm curious if this is simply another rumor/scare tactic. And finally, I know that the war has just started (no viewpoint stated here) and in response to the declaration of war has or is anyone changing there information security procedures/policies and/or monitoring tactics? ----My Information---- The snort sensors I have running on our internal and external networks are not showing any new or abnormal traffic patterns. We are still seeing approximately the same number of random exploit attempts except for the obvious increase in webdav attempts (and still some MS SQL exploits). We have also created plans for each threat level that outline the additional security measures taken. The plans contain everything from additional off-site backups, additional man-hours and physical security. We have not yet changed our standard mode of operation as a result of the declaration of war. -Jacob On Wed, 19 Mar 2003, T.
