All universities deal intensively with the topic of IT security and people’s awareness. One of the campaigns running at ETH is the PROTECT YOUR BRAINWORK. campaign. Let’s take a look at the EPFL library in Lausanne and their solution for IT security awareness.
For almost a year, preparations at IT Services and D-INFK of ETH Zürich have been running at full speed: From March 23 to 28, we had the Informatiktage 2020 coming up. They have now been cancelled due to the current development of corona virus COVID-19 and the instructions of the Swiss Federal Office for Health.
The Internet first came to Switzerland around 30 years ago. It was called SWITCHlan, it linked the Swiss universities to one another and was intended exclusively for the research world. SWITCH therefore became the first Internet service provider in Switzerland. How did this development come about and to what extent has the Internet changed since then?
Good news for all polybox users: From now

whether they are ETH members or external parties.
Information security campaign: Call to participate
You’ll run into «sneaky green monsters» everywhere at ETH. They are the face of the current campaign of the Information Security Officer Boards (ISO Boards). This campaign is coming to an end, and the ISOs are looking for a new idea. What comes after the monsters? We need your help!
For the
third time, I was able to travel to the annual Jamf Nation User Conference in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. JNUC 2019 took place between the 12-14 November,
in sub-zero temperatures. This time, I was joined by colleague Katiuscia
Zehnder, also from ITS Client Delivery, and Cyril Häubi from D-HEST. The
conference hosts over 2000 Jamf users and fellow client engineers from around
the world, and counts as the world’s largest annual gathering of Apple Client
administrators. Therefore, it is an unparalleled opportunity for us to exchange
ideas and information with people facing the same challenges as us.
