  3. The relationship between SHGE and NWTC works The cohesion and success of the combined SGHE and NWTC staffs should be held as the flagship for other SGHE managed sites to base their security programs. This cohesion extends to other NWTC staff members outside the IT organization.
  4. The relationship between SHGE and NWTC works While on site, the assessment team and NWTC staff happened upon a Linux machine that was not running anti-virus software. This was remediated, and an informal check to ensure other similar Linux systems were protected was quickly instituted. That the administrators involved for these systems did not try to project blame onto other staff members, illustrates the working environment that has been fostered at NWTC. All staff, whether employed by SGHE or NWTC work together to solve problems to increase reliability and security of the networking infrastructure.
