Description

The balance between security and usability in the Fermilab Accelerator Control System will be presented. The control system contains a wide variety of systems, with varying abilities to protect themselves and varying risks to other systems on the network. The community of Physicists, Engineers, Computer Professionals and others who repair, maintain and constantly improve this control system need to have sufficient access to the systems to remain productive, while keeping out the unwanted traffic. We have achieved the current balance by using a wide range of tools and methods. This presentation will discuss these tools and methods.
