As a cornerstone of our cybersecurity initiative, departmental networks are transitioning to a centrally-managed Zero Trust network model.
Network moves are scheduled by department to minimize operational disruption, prioritizing administrative units before the end of the calendar year, while academic unit networks will begin transitions in 2027.
ITS leadership will be reaching out to department leadership in the coming weeks to share additional details.
The work ahead is extensive, and we rely on the partnership of colleagues across campus. We recognize the schedule below may shift, and encourage you to engage proactively with the project team in advance of your proposed network transition date.
