Firewall Exemption Services
We protect the university's network by using firewalls to block unauthorized access. Some approved exemptions are given to those who have need for a new firewall rule or changes to existing firewall rules. For systems needing additional protection, custom firewall rules can also be requested. The Network and Connectivity Management form can be used to request SSL/TLS Certificates.
