ARCHIVED: Help setting up a firewall or intrusion detection products for IU departments

A wide variety of firewall and intrusion detection products is available. Sorting through them all and finding one that will work in a particular environment is a daunting task. In addition, the installation of a firewall requires a coordinated effort between the department, the University Information Security Office (UISO), and the central campus computing center's networking group.

One of the UISO's primary tasks is to continue evaluating the various firewall and intrusion detection products, and attempt to map out a product strategy for the university. Contact the UISO for help determining the best approach for your department, or to arrange a meeting to discuss this further. You can learn more about the UISO's available services at Protect IU.
