Dear NANOG, I'd like to draw your attention to a survey we're conducting in context of several research projects: +----------------------- Call for Participation -----------------------+ | Survey on network attack detection and mitigation | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | opened from 14.11.12 - 04.12.12 | +--------------> http://www.dasec.h-da.de/survey/netsec <--------------+ Network-based attacks pose a strong threat to the Internet landscape and academia is working towards different approaches on attack detection and mitigation. Yet, a clear understanding of possibilities and issues in commercial networks is missing. Hence, this survey aims at gaining insight in real-world processes, structures and capabilities of IT companies and the computer networks they run. This survey is conducted in context of different publicly funded research projects of the da/sec Biometrics and Internet Security research group [1], as well as work done in the combined eco e.V. and DE-CIX competence group security. Results of this survey shall frame future research and community activities in the area of Internet security. The survey targets at companies of all size and colour running an own computer network. Questions within this survey address some organizational aspects, as well as processes, techniques and tools you may have employed in order to perform network attack detection and mitigation. Filling the survey should not last longer than 5 - 10 minutes. Thus, this survey can ideally be answered during a short and relaxing coffee/tea break ;-) Thank you all for your help to advance Internet security research!
