Mary Dunker, Director of Secure Enterprise Technology Initiatives
Mission:
Secure Enterprise Technology Initiatives (SETI) develops and supports secure, robust web applications, middleware, online directories, authentication, and Windows hosting solutions that integrate with teaching, learning, research, and outreach services throughout the university. Our mission is accomplished by
- Securing the university's Active Directory infrastructure and accounts that are used to authenticate to the university's enterprise-wide Microsoft services such as Exchange e-mail and networked-attached file storage.
- Providing and supporting the Virtual Dedicated Windows Service: hardware virtual hosting for departmental Windows operating systems and applications.
- Developing Enterprise Directory middleware, based upon the Internet2 MACE architecture, to implement business logic for managing identities and provisioning the university's ubiquitous personal identifier, the PID.
- Supporting authentication and authorization services including the Enterprise LDAP Directory, Central Authentication Service (CAS), and Shibboleth.
- Providing a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to support the issuance of trusted digital certificates that can be used for authentication, digital signatures, and to facilitate encrypting information while at rest and in transit.
- Ensuring quality software development and security through testing and verification for services developed and supported by SETI and other Information Technology departments.
- Assisting with deployment planning, bug tracking, problem reporting and resolution.
