This is the first step in protecting our internal TMCC computer resources. In the near future, firewalls will be installed to improve TMCC telecommunications security. Think of firewalls as guards at the door and authentication via a login as the locks. When TMCC employees receive warnings about viruses from sources outside of the Information Technology Operations department, they should forward those warnings to ITO for validation. If validated, ITO will issue a campus-wide alert about the virus.
