Extension uses SharePoint in Office 365 as a robust, modern Intranet for program collaboration, administrative communication, and business workflows.
In 2019 Extension merged with UW-Madison, which required transitioning all IT infrastructure including our SharePoint-based intranet. An aggressive timeline and minimal campus support of SharePoint in Office 365 made for an exciting project. We will discuss how we migrated from a legacy on-premises SharePoint server farm to UW-Madison’s Office 365 SharePoint Online tenant, the compromises and improvements we made, and the relationships with DoIT that we built.
Attendees will learn potential ways to leverage SharePoint in a large school/division, tools and techniques for managing SharePoint migrations, and working with SharePoint with minimal DoIT support.
Do you find yourself swimming in a sea of form requests? At UW-Madison’s Division of Continuing Studies, we certainly did – and we turned to Salesforce and FormAssembly to bring order to the chaos. With some simple Form Assembly set up we were able to automate the creation of campaign and case requests in our Salesforce CRM. You can too!
You will learn how to utilize partner solutions (Form Assembly forms tool) to streamline of routine requests through automation.
This new project builds on our existing campus VoIP telephone network and video conferencing software licenses to address the critical need for additional hybrid conference rooms. The standardized equipment in each room eliminates the need for participants to set up AV equipment in meetings and creates a simplified joining experience. Touch screen controllers allow in-person participants to connect to meetings using MS-Teams, Webex, Zoom and Google Meet. Over 60 hybrid conference rooms are being installed on campus this year, fostering inclusive meetings between remote employees, guests, and in-person conference participants. Departments can get started by requesting a consultation at https://it.wisc.edu/services/custom-audiovisual-conference-room/

Description
If you have servers, you might want to use Qualys Cloud Agent to learn about which of your servers have vulnerabilities, like Log4J. This session will go over how to navigate the VMDR dashboard to see which Vulnerabilities are highest priority, which servers they are on, and how you’re making progress over time.
Attendees will learn how Qualys can help you avoid scrambling during security events like Log4J.
API enabling your DNS server will let you do awesome things! See why having API access to DNS for all necessary parties enables automation on a level we’ve only previously dreamed about. We were manually doing certificate renewal for 1800+ certs, but after implementing Infoblox API + AWS Cert Manager + Wiscweb we have 1800+ Automatically renewed SSL Certificates FTW. And this pattern can be used by anyone! This session is perfect for people who have or host websites, or run DNS servers.

This presentation will show how to use existing UW metric backends in your own custom monitoring system. Participants will learn how to use existing data to monitor any UW network port.
Audience needs a general knowledge of metrics and monitoring.
Learn how to respond to a ransomware threat proactively, ideally to prevent an attack, or to have the resources to recover if one occurs. Looking beyond the infamous components of an extortion attack – data encryption and demands for ransom – this will cover the most common methods for gaining access, use of lateral movement and privilege escalation, and how an attacker uses fear to increase the chance of getting payment. I will focus on prevention, ideally to stop the attacker from gain access by following best practices in IT security. Logging and monitoring can detect an attack before data is encrypted, although that may not prevent data exfiltration. Effective backup strategy, having backups offline and keeping them long enough that there will be a backup from before the initial compromise, is essential to recovery.
