Dear colleagues,
We would like to inform you that you can find information about the periodic scanning of the university systems performed by the Threat Management Department of Cybersecurity and Data Management Division, ICS on the following link [1].
In recent months, we have recorded an increase in incidents that negatively impact university data. These incidents were caused by the use of vulnerable versions of services, their misconfiguration, and inadequate network segmentation. We were able to detect dozens of such vulnerabilities during periodic system scanning. Subsequently, we fixed them and thus increased the security level of the university infrastructure.
Given the considerate approach and the experience of the pilot scanning, most services and their administrators will not notice the scanning process is running. If you experience any problems, don't hesitate to contact scanning@csirt.muni.cz.
