Internet2 Network Security SIG

[Adair Thaxton <>]

Happy Monday, y'all!  If you're interested in the DDoS protection 
service that Internet2 offers, we are considering Radware as a potential 
alternative.  If you're interested in seeing how their portal works and 
what information it offers, please join us on Thursday!
