Abstract:

The Dartmouth Cyber-Security Initiative is an ongoing collaboration between faculty, staff, and students focused on projects aimed at improving the security of the College's information systems. By coordinating research interests with practical concerns, the initiative has resulted in a number of innovative procedures and tools. One such tool is Achilles. Integrated with popular assessment tools such as Nessus and NMAP, Achilles is an easy to use, enterprise-scale analysis console that allows institutions to rank, manage, and track assessment results for thousands of systems.
