CSCS also runs two LAN systems, one in the main building and in the library. Routine tasks will include maintenance, rotating log files, checking for vulnerabilities, and applying patches as and when they are available, and LAN firewall management. Additionally, the Administrator will supervise the maintenance of all CSCS Windows-based machines, ensuring network connectivity troubleshooting, anti-virus and spyware detection software maintenance.
