Computer Security on a VAX system
Abstract
In a time when automation and our reliance on computer
systems is steadily growing it is very important for us to
ensure that the information we entrust to computers is
properly protected. Methods to protect this information can
be as simple as controlled procedures to as complicated as
control within the structure of the hardware and software of
the computer system itself. Computer security is a
multidimensional problem that includes access, data control,
user attitudes, management policies, and standards. In view
of the importance of computer security, I was pleased to
have the opportunity to take part in research and
implementation of some security measures for the Control
Computer Center at The Upjohn Company here in Kalamazoo.
