| |When joining the list I ask you to breifly introduce yourself and give an |outline of your interest in intrusion detection systems. | Hi, I am a member of a support team managing a computer laboratory for the Science and Engineering Workstation Procurement (SEWP) Business Operations and Workstation Laboratory (BOWL). Because of the nature of our business we must allow the use of internal equipment by external users all over the world. Any US Government personnel (and some contractors) wishing to run tests on our laboratory machines can schedule time in our lab (via internet) prior to purchasing any equipment off the contracts that we administer. All connections are logged and monitored but the need for better security is always a goal. I have personal interests in both AI and security. I am in a AI masters program at John's Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and have taken part in C2 accreditation testing, risk analysis, and penetration studies on behalf of a previous employer. My primary interest is in software development. Steve Coleman scoleman@sewp.nasa.gov vox: 301.286.7636 fax: 301.286.1619
