HSU and the entire CSU system are increasingly dependent on information technology for everything from facilities management to finance to grading assignments. For this reason, improving network security is also essential to protect those functions, as well as the integrity of research portfolios. As part of the current Common Network Initiative (CNI), ITS is replacing HSU’s current firewalls with Palo Alto Networks’ next generation firewalls that are capable of detecting and preventing a much wider range of attacks.

More information on the firewall upgrade project can be found on the ITS Project Office website.
