Kiel University: firewall and email security

Students, professors, and staff at Kiel University of Applied Sciences communicate, research, and develop innovative ideas with the help of their own campus IT infrastructure. T-Systems has implemented a modern firewall system and a highly effective email security solution to ensure that email traffic and all sensitive data at the educational institution are optimally protected. The two systems from the manufacturer Cisco were configured and implemented by certified T-Systems employees, but the university's IT staff were also instructed and trained accordingly. The aim: better protection against spam and malware such as viruses and Trojans.

A next generation firewall brings the security system at Kiel University up to date: T-Systems has developed its own firewall design for this – including documentation, implementation, instruction, and training. The result: modernization of the existing solution into a highly available intrusion prevention system that detects signs of impending attacks or security risks and fends them off and prevents them. With anti-spam, an anti-virus outbreak filter, and advanced malware protection, the email traffic of students and employees of the Schleswig-Holstein-based university is also fully protected.
