Firewall

What Is the Service?

MSU operates one of the largest networks in the world which provides connectivity across the Internet for hundreds of thousands of users. Our computing resources are under constant attack from external threat actors so we use next-generation firewalls to provide network segmentation from the public Internet and its various internal computing environments. This is a goal of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (PR.PT-4 Segmentation and Filtering).

Features:

  • Internet Border: Protects computing resources by filtering known-malicious payloads and traffic from known-malicious threat actors.
  • Interior: Protects computing resources hosted on Campus from pivot attacks and insider threats.

Who Is Eligible to Use It?

Service owners responsible for computing resources connected to the MSU Campus Network.

Rates

Firewall is centrally funded and provided at no additional charge.
