ESC Network Security
The ESC has a Network Security Policy that requires adherence to several necessary precautions in order to maintain a healthy, viable network.
ESC requires that all devices directly or indirectly accessing the ESC network have the latest virus scan software, Windows® security updates, system patches and any other technological precautions necessary to protect yourself and others from viruses, malicious programs, and other disruptive applications.
Any device which adversely impacts ESC network may cause service interruptions to yourself and others which can lead to disconnection of your equipment from the network, with or without prior notice at ESC’s discretion. The device(s) in question will remain disconnected until all issues are adequately resolved.
In addition to the above policy and in the interest of enhanced network security, ESC has implemented filtering policies on all Internet routers. These filters block all ICMP (ping, traceroute, etc.) either destined to or sourced from any ESC network. Further, to avoid infection by common internet worms (Nachi, MSBlaster, LoveSAN, etc.), we have implemented similar filters on the following TCP and UDP port numbers: UDP -69, 137, 138, 402, 1434 and TCP – 135, 139, 402, 445, 4444.
Industry press activities
Industry representatives and their communications agents wishing to stage Industry-related press events at or during the ESC Congress 2006 should contact the ESC Press & PR Office to discuss rental facilities and regulations, having fully reviewed the Industry Press Guidelines 2006, and to receive the necessary Booking Request Forms for booking procedures.
