A SECURITY POLICY FOR ESRINS SERVICES

ESRIN provides a large number of online services to users all over the world via a complex telecommunications network. As the number of serv ices offered grows and their geographical coverage expands, the networ k becomes increasingly vulnerable to a security threat. ESRIN has ther efore developed a security policy to protect all of the resources conn ected by the network. Operational roles and responsibilities for secur ity have been established, and measures to heighten awareness of an in stallation's security exposure have been implemented. In addition, the ESRIN networks have been reorganised based on an assessment of each h ost computer's required security level. Further measures, such as auth entication and access control measures, will be phased in as deemed ne cessary.
