  2. In FY2004, Networking and Computing Technologies Division has done great things Improving IT ORNL’s Laboratory Agenda • Migrated the entire Laboratory to Exchange/Outlook for email and calendar ahead of schedule (over 4,500 users) Implemented New Email & Calendar Infrastructure • Negotiated labwide Licenses for Red Hat Linux and Mathematica • Implemented a terminal server for improved access to business systems for non-Windows users Implemented New Site-wide services Improved Voice & Data Networks • Improved cellphone coverage and implemented cellphone stipend program • Recast the wireless network for the entire laboratory Addressed DOE requirements • Completed Certification and Accreditation of ORNL’s IT infrastructure

  3. We have many key ongoing activities • Enhanced Cyber Security Program • Enhanced managed hardware and core software program • Implementation of Exchange/Outlook calendaring infrastructure • Mentoring for Oak Ridge High School students in the Cisco Co-Op program • Enhanced deployment of wireless local area networks • A plan for improved log-in procedure for Web-applications and desktop • Improved web-based help and training for IT services that NCTD provides • Improved network, throughput, accessibility, and security • Improved ORNL helpline capabilities

  4. ORNL has an emphasis on cyber security with a proactiveProgram which is integrated vertically and horizontally • Vertically with Line Management via requirements management (Standards Based Management System), R2A2s, and training • Horizontally with users, staff, and division computer security representatives • Integrated with the Networking, Computing Technologies organization and simultaneous partnering with Security and Counterintelligence • With proactive technical solutions that improve security and access to science

  5. Cyber vulnerabilities are efficiently identified, reported, and resolved and we are designing new cyber solutions • New system vulnerabilities are regularly identified by vendors • ORNL Systems are tested for new vulnerabilities • System administrators fix or reconfigure systems to resolve vulnerabilities • and we are • Developing secure solutions for remote and mobile users with • one time tokens • secured mobile systems with Safe Passage

  6. In 10 years, ORNL Cyber Security and Information Technology will... Provide a mobile computing environment where local and virtual remote access are indistinguishable in ease and capability Provide a cyber-friendly open campus environment supporting thousands/annually of on-site domestic and foreign visiting scientists and guests Provide equal world-wide virtual remote and local access to significant ORNL User Facilities Staff Cyber Security Users Visitors/ Guests Support ORNL as a significant contributor to Homeland Defense and National Security cyber initiatives and programs Support a significant “national security” footprint, including best-in-nation classified facilities and computing networks Simultaneously support Open Science and ‘closed’ National Security

  7. On the horizon for ORNL IT…. New or enhanced systems New Technologies • Cyber Security Systems • Library system (Ex Libris) • Facilities Systems (Datastream for Computerized Maintenance Management & Bentley Facilities for Computer Aided Facilities Management) • Publications Tracking • System • Blackberry devices • ETF/Ultranet Network for • TeraGrid • Web-based Collaboration • Tools • SecureAuthentication

  8. At ORNL IT is a key to the future of its science mission www.ornl.gov
