All computer users at PPPL are required to follow PPPL's computer usage policies, which include the User Responsibility Policy and the Cyber Security Policy. A practical effect of this is that all computers (at NSTX) must be 'centrally-managed' so that their cyber security protection can be verified and maintained, as is (now) required.
The three documents below describe the typical actions for configuring computers at NSTX. The 'Checklist' is a 1-page summary, the 'Practical Guide' expounds on the Checklist, and there is a terminology guide.
Cyber security is a rapidly evolving field. DOE-mandated requirements and PPPL networking, cyber security, and Computer Policies will change accordingly.
