implementing a network improvement action plan
Firewall failures and the recent onslaught of computer viruses and worms, such as Klez, loveletter, SoBig, and BadBoy, increased network traffic and ever-growing network abuse, propelled security awareness at Northwest Missouri State University to a higher level and increased the need for finding and implementing effective solutions. Northwest's Information Systems Department was able to build awareness of computer security issues, decrease network abuse, institute significant enhancements to the network and better ensure network reliability, through the implementation of a multiple step network action plan. This plan included the adoption of new policies and procedures, new student staff positions and equipment upgrades.
