Using a Content Filter to Protect Your Network
MAJ Jonathon Neel

In the 2011-2012 academic year, the Virginia Military Institute’s IT department enabled content filtering for all its Internet traffic. In this presentation, Jonathon Neel, VMI’s Information Security Officer, will show you how this was accomplished without any user complaints. What sorts of websites does VMI filter traffic for? What did they say to the user community to keep them from freaking out? Attend this presentation to find out exactly how (and why) it was done.
