Focus On: Port Blocking Workshop Now Available!

UBC has a significant internet footprint with a large number of exposed services and systems accessible from outside our network. The larger the footprint, the more opportunities for attacks and security breaches on UBC systems, presenting a significant risk to the University. By blocking standardized ports at the border, we reduce our footprint and improve the security posture for UBC as a whole. Join this session to learn more about this ongoing initiative, including new and upcoming port blocks, their impacts, the exemption process, and future goals.
