| Abstract: | Indiana University is comprised of eight campuses with approximately 60,000 system-wide networked devices. When the Melissa virus was released, our response was ad hoc and unplanned, and we had a high number of infections. We did a little better with ILOVEYOU, and better still with Code Red, and even Slammer. But, generally, while campus operations were not heavily impacted by these latter events, our responses were still fairly uncoordinated, and our actions were overly cautious. As a result of our experiences with those previous events, we decided we would take a much more aggressive, though still measured, approach to these threats.
