Business Case
|
| |
|
The growing number of security events and related outages is having an increased impact on the productivity of the University. Conservative estimates indicate that outages may cost the institution as much as $2,000/minute.

|
Properly securing OSU’s external connectivity is the cornerstone of a good security plan. Simultaneously, the growing need for remote access to the campus network has made a viable VPN client a prerequisite to instituting additional security measures at the border. Our VPN solution must cover both the Windows and MacIntosh platforms, and be easy for customers to install and use.
