This discussion must presume that conscientious members keep reasonably up to date on vendor patches.

Consider your own workstation and work area, services you offer, and services you use. Not everyone has the same priorities.
Broad discussion can reveal overlooked risks such as identity theft, and clarify priorities.
Offer advice on how such pro-active testing can be improved. IAT Services and other staff will use this forum to analyze proposals. A nearby unsecured system can offer a foothold for intruders or denial of service. Effective network firewalls require monitoring. Personal firewalls and workgroup firewalls could benefit from campus standardization and perhaps centralized logging and management.
