Major Firewall Upgrade
Notification of Major Network Maintenance - Firewall Upgrade
As part of our continuous improvement efforts to ensure the availability, reliability and performance of Brock’s technology infrastructure, ITS will be replacing key data networking equipment on Saturday, September 15th, 2012. Brock’s new firewall hardware will further enhance network reliability and security as well as significantly increase performance.
In order to minimize the impact of disruptions, the ITS Team is meeting regularly with key stakeholders. While only certain segments of the network will be affected at any given time, services such as VPN or access to the Portal may become unreachable during these planned outages.
Information updates can be found on the my.brocku.ca Portal and our Helpdesk (x4357) will be operational from 8am to 5pm on Saturday, September 15th, 2012, if you require any assistance.
