In order to improve our cyber security, IT will be automatically turning on the firewalls of all University managed PC’s.

Most PC’s will already have their firewall turned on but in some circumstances they may have been switched off, either by mistake or in an attempt to fix issues with software not working correctly.

If you have to switch off your PC’s firewall to carry out work, please contact IT for advice on how to open the required ‘ports’ on the firewall. This way you get all the protection of the firewall without it interfering with your work.
