Trusted Devices
The DESY Computer Security Council (RSR) issued a set of rules and recommendations to be followed by anyone operating computers attached to the DESY internal network.
By signing the form mentioned there, you acknowledge and accept these rules. A device is classified as trusted if the form signed by the responsible person has been filled with UCO Zeuthen.
For DESY notebooks centrally supported by DV Zeuthen, you only need to turn your attention to hints for using DESY Notebooks in Zeuthen (Windows) and sign a special form when the notebook is claimed from the computing after installation.
